If you are tired of your summer garden looking dull and green, the Lil’ Kim® Red Hardy Hibiscus is what you need. Stop seeing spring as the only time your shrubs are blooming, and enjoy the bright, cheerful, flowers of this compact plant from mid-summer right through fall. It quickly grows to between 3 and 4 feet tall and wide – big enough to make a statement, and not so big as to take over. Easy to grow, drought-tolerant, and happy just about everywhere the sun shines, the cheerful pink-red flowers great every day with happiness. The clean, glossy foliage stays green and fresh through the hottest and most humid days, and every day brings new blooms to replace the ones that politely drop off once they fade. Plant this beauty among your other shrubs, to extend the season of blooming; grow it as a low hedge dividing one area from another, or to hide an ugly fence or foundation; plant it in a pot, to give your terrace or steps a lift. However you use it, enjoy the ease and beauty of this great little bush.
Plant the Lil’ Kim® Red Hardy Hibiscus in full sun for the most blooms, although a couple of hours in the shade each day will be fine too. It grow easily and rapidly in any well-drained soil, even poor, sandy ones, and once established it tolerates drought and heat well. Deer, pests, and diseases don’t bother it, and it revels in the hot and humid days. No need to dead-head, flowers just fall away and are replaced by new ones. Prune in spring to stimulate compact new growth – nothing more is needed.
