Description
A night and day combination of matte black foliage and pure white flowers. Like other dark-leaved Hardy Hibiscus, full sun is necessary to bring out the deepest foliage color.
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: 4-4.5′ W: 4.5-5′ | zone: 4-9
