    That's what Americans call it. There's a chap from New York on another forum I belong to and he calls them Rose of Sharon, but here they're just called Hibiscus and Rose of Sharon is Hyericum.

        Hibiscus syriacus is not in flower over here yet, usually comes out late July to August.

            Thanks Pete, the flowers are so big, I’ve recently found out the last owners husband was a gardener, and have been told I’ve inherited a lot of good plants and I want to carry on his good work :dbgrtmb:

                  Sorry about that @Jasmine star. :) I've had a scout around on the web but there are so many I couldn't pin one down. Perhaps you should put it in the ID section.

                    The third pic looks like the flower of Phormium. Is there a big clump of strappy leaves under it, @Flumpy? ETA pete beat me to it! :biggrin:
