Hibiscus

Common Name: Rose Mallow/Hardy Hibiscus

Hardy Hibiscus form large bushy plants. They bloom mid to late summer producing absolutely huge, glorious crepe paper-like flowers. They grow best in full sun and moist soil. Hibiscus are very late to break dormancy and need temperatures above 50F before growth will appear. Place in a greenhouse or have your plants shipped later in the season when temperatures are warmer to ensure good growth.
