Solved What's this ??

Can anyone please tell me what this shrub is so I can look up details of pruning, propagating etc..

Thanks

 

Hibiscus Syriacus barryman

 

good call Woo , the blue one is called "Bluebird" , they can take hard pruning but you will have less flowers flowering for a year or two , I prune mine mid March before the sap rises as this is the last shrub to get leaves in my garden

We crossed there Woo.....
Prune after flowering and remove the odd long branch barryman to keep it compact.
Take cuttings now ....non flowered shoots

 

you were quick as well

Woo was has hapend to Moira on here who used to say good morning to everyone ?

 

I’m glad it’s not just me then! Every year I think I’ve lost it to the winter, then it starts to leaf up. (It’s about 2 weeks later than neighbours’ plants, just a street away - their garden has a wood shelter-belt)

 

....but you still beat me Woo

 

Blimey, that was quick !!!
Thanks to all of you.... I'm going to try taking a cutting or two. Now is OK timewise ???

 

eeessssyyy peessssy , you need a stem about 6 inches long cut just under a node (where the leaves sprout from ) remove all the leaves apart from the two at the top and place in a jam jar just with water 3/4 up the stem replace with fresh water once a week ... roots will apear and pot up when the roots turn from white to a darkish colour, , over winter put in a frost free greenhouse ... simples
