The Red Heart Hardy Hibiscus puts on a stunning display of large blooms from late summer all through the fall. The big flowers are pure white, with a red center that radiates out with thin red lines. It blooms profusely, on a shrub that can be 10 feet tall or more if untrimmed, making it perfect for a lawn specimen, the back of shrub beds, as a flowering hedge, or in tubs or pots, where it will remain more compact. It thrives in city and country alike, and is invaluable for late color in every garden.
- Large white blooms have a red center with radiating lines
- Best flowering shrub for late summer and fall
- Very tough and easy to grow anywhere
- Thrives in heat and drought
- Excellent for planters and pots
Grow the Red Heart Hardy Hibiscus in full sun for the best results, although some partial shade is tolerated well. Any well-drained soil, or all types, is fine, but avoid wet areas. Once established it is very drought tolerant, and it thrives in heat, humidity and tough locations. A spring pruning will keep it vigorous and compact, and since it blooms on new stems, any winter damage is unimportant. Pests, diseases and deer normally ignore this easy-care plant.
