Helene Hardy Hibiscus

Helene Hardy Hibiscus amazes with its white blooms and their rich-red feathered centers. It blooms continuously from mid-summer to the first hard frost, and this vase-shaped deciduous shrub has attractive deep green leaves. It grows between 4 and 8 feet tall, depending on your zone, and it is a wonderful way to bring late flowers into your garden – when other plants have already finished blooming. Use it in beds, as a screen, or in pots and planters.

• Dramatic semi-double blooms are white with a red center
• Long blooming season from summer to frost
• Vase-shaped form for beds and screening
• Compact shrub ideal for tubs and planters
• Tough and resistant to drought and heat

Grow the Helene Hardy Hibiscus in full sun, or with an hour or two of shade each day. It thrives in any well-drained soil, and once established it tolerates drought and heat with ease. Avoid wet ground and fertilize in spring for the best results. Pests and diseases are normally absent, and deer usually leave it alone. Spring pruning will encourage plenty of flowers and keep your bushes compact and tidy.
