As is the second - a Spirea - there are a lot of variants of this, e.g. Magic Carpet Spirea - GardenLady.com Quote: |

Think last is not Rose of Sharon, but related Hypericum "Hidcote" which is common shrub in gardens + grows much taller than aforementioned species. |

But that would still be H. calycinum - "Hidcote" is merely a garden variety? This is one of those cases where the correct scientific name (Hypericum calycinum) covers many sub-species/varieties. Quote: |

Hidcote differs considerably in appearance to H. calycinum + is not rhizomatous like latter species. Stace states that Hidcote is sterile + of unknown but probably hybrid origin.
A garden book of mine suggests H. calycinum may be one of parents along with H. x cyathiflorum; so although there may be H. calycinum genes present, Hidcote is botanically distinct. If you see the 2 plants side by side they look like 2 totally different species in same genus. |

We live and learn! I'd always taken Hidcote to be just another variant, thanks. Quote: |
