Minerva Hardy Hibiscus is the answer when you want fall blooms in your garden. It produces very large flowers with an elegant, ruffled look. They are lilac-pink, with a deep red central eye, and they are produced in profusion from midsummer until the first hard frost. This compact bush, with its deep-green leathery leaves, is perfect for all your garden beds, or for growing in pots and planters. You simply won’t believe a plant can make so many blossoms, but it’s true, even in drought and harsh city conditions.
Plant your Minerva Hardy Hibiscus bushes in full sun, or a little partial shade, in any well-drained soil. This fast-growing shrub is tolerant of heat and drought, thriving where other flowering plants fail. Pests, diseases and even deer don’t bother it, and all it needs for perfect growth is a simple pruning in spring. An occasional deep watering in summer will keep it vigorous and constantly in bloom.
