Description
One of our most hotly anticipated additions to the SUMMERIFIC® lineup in recent years! At only 3-3½’ tall, this is our most compact Hibiscus to date. 7-8″ bubblegum pink flowers have overlapping petals and darker pink veining for a dramatic 3D effect. Jet black foliage is the darkest we’ve seen on a Hibiscus and contrasts nicely with the green flower calyxes and red veining and petioles. Compared to ‘Evening Rose’, this has darker foliage, a more compact habit, and brighter pink flowers. Best color and performance will be in full sun.
These North American native plants bring massive, tropical-looking flowers all the way to zone 4. Although later to emerge than most perennials in spring, these are fast growing plants capable of adding an inch of new growth a day. Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens.
Don’t be worried if your hardy hibiscus hasn’t leafed out until early (or even mid) June, it takes its time emerging and grows quickly. Trim stalks to 6″ in the fall.
Full sun to part shade | H: 3-3.5′ W: 4-4.5′ | zone: 4-9
