Flamingo Althea
Hibiscus syriacus ‘Flamingo’ PPAF
A seedless pentaploid developed at Oregon State University by Ryan Contreras by interploidy crossing, and introduced by Oregon State University.
Flamingo is a vigorous, yet compact selection of althea with single flowers that are a rich pink. The flowers self-clean without producing seeds. This H. syriacus also has deep green foliage that avoids the early season chlorosis often found in this species. Grows to 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall, and is hardy in zones 5b–9b.
Available as liners and #1 containers from Eshraghi Nursery (Booth #12025), J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. (Booth #19026), and Robinson Nursery (Booth #18028).
