Has been quite jostled during transportation: broken branches, soil on one side, pot on the other, and the midrib amidst this mess. I'm not too worried about its recovery as the roots are vigorous. I will provide a more detailed assessment next summer.

Description
The Hibiscus moscheutos Solène is a beautiful plant from the Planet series, developed in France for its early and long-lasting flowering season, which runs from July to September. This perennial hibiscus produces wide cup-shaped flowers with a fresh pink colour around a cherry red centre. The flowers grow on green foliage with purple reflections, which look attractive even when not blooming. The plant is perfect for water features and can also be grown in large pots kept moist on the terrace.
The Hibiscus moscheutos, also known as Hibiscus palustris, is a herbaceous plant with a woody stump from the Malvaceae family, related to mallow and rose mallow. It grows natively in southern United States marshes, reaching heights of up to 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches). In our climate, it produces upright stems that form a spreading bush quite late in spring. Horticulturists have obtained numerous cultivars, including the 'Planet' series, which produces well-branched plants that can withstand temperatures down to -12°C (10.4 °F) and require less sun to fully bloom their long flowering period, giving them an advantage in cooler summers.
'Solène' grows into a beautiful bushy clump that will quickly reach a height of 1.50m (4 ft 11 in) and a spread of 1.20m (3 ft 11 in) in just one season. This cultivar stands out with its large, single and bright flowers, which can reach 25 cm (9.8 in) in diameter, with a very fresh colour, full of vivacity, combining light pink and red on slightly wrinkled petals. The large, uniform leaves in this selection are lobed with pointed tips of a purple-green colour, very ornamental throughout the growing season.
Marsh hibiscus plants are spectacular and cannot go unnoticed. Some people dislike their immense flowers because they can be challenging to integrate into a natural setting. In contrast, others love them for the same reasons that make them suitable for a contemporary-style garden or an exotic scene carefully organised around a water feature or on the terrace. The Planet series offers the opportunity to welcome this superb plant to cooler areas, with particularly hardy and early varieties such as Griotte and Solène. Both will add another dimension to waterlogged flower beds or pond edges, accompanied by a Gunnera, cannas, Ethiopian arum, Rodgersia Chocolate Wings, or a Colocasia esculenta.

Planting and care
The Hibiscus genus includes perennials that disappear above ground in winter. These marsh plants can be planted alongside Hardy Hibiscus or cold-hardy banana plants in warm and moist soil. While hardy down to -15°C (5 °F) in our garden, they require winter protection in colder climates. Protecting the stump from excessive winter moisture helps the plant withstand the cold better.
To create a bed, dig a hole 40 cm (15.7 in) in all directions, line it with waterproof film and fill it with a mixture of good garden soil and fertiliser. Keep the soil moist during the shooting and flowering period. In October, when the leaves turn yellow, keep the soil moist and trim the stems to 5 cm (2 in) above the ground in late autumn. Growth restarts late in the spring, April-May, depending on the climate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
