Fiji™ First Editions® Rose of Sharon

Fiji™ is the First Editions® selection Hibiscus syriacus ‘Minspot’. Pink buds open to patterned white flowers brushed with pink and centered deep red, then fade toward light pink; the breeder lists an upright 5–8-foot shrub with a 4–7-foot spread for full sun and Zones 5–8. [First Editions](https://firsteditionsplants.com/product/fiji-hibiscus/) ## Garden placement Use Fiji as a flowering hedge or screen where its mature size can create seasonal privacy. It flowers through summer and its changing colors keep the display varied as blooms age. The breeder notes medium watering and spring pruning. [First Editions](https://firsteditionsplants.com/product/fiji-hibiscus/) ## Maintenance A well-drained site is suitable. Kiefer Nursery reports that this selection grows in full sun to part shade, with best flowering in full sun, and tolerates average-to-dry conditions as well as summer heat and humidity. It can be pruned in spring; a late-winter cutback to a few buds may produce larger blooms. [Kiefer Nursery](https://kiefernursery.com/product/hibiscus-syriacus-minspot-fiji/)
