Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

For information on the species see Hibiscus syriacus L. var. alba simplex.  Violacea simplici has single, violet-coloured flowers.  Probably similar to the varieties ‘Blue bird’ and ‘Coelestis’, violet-blue with a darker eye.  [Hilliers’].
