Abundance and duration of flowering — Hibiscus syriacus

Hibiscus syriacus L.

Key indicators of the ornamental quality of Hibiscus syriacus, evaluated on a 5-point scale of flower opening intensity and the total number of flowering days in a season.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Rose of Sharon, where this is mentioned in the description.

The assessment of flowering abundance in Hibiscus syriacus is carried out on a 5-point scale, where the determining factor is the proportion of simultaneously opened flowers relative to the plant's total potential. At a rating of 5–4 points, 25% or more of flowers are open; 3 points correspond to 15–24%, 2 points to 10–14%, and 1 point to less than 10%.

The duration of flowering is measured as a period in days or months from the opening of the first flowers to the end of mass flowering. The crop is characterized by a range of 3 weeks to 3 months, with varieties having a period exceeding 90–100 days considered highly valuable for creating continuous flowering sequences.

The high ornamental value of Hibiscus syriacus is achieved through a combination of abundant flowering and the plant's self-cleaning ability, where spent floral elements are shed without compromising the overall aesthetic appearance of the plantings.
