Summerific®Berry Awesome Hibiscus

Awesome, just awesome! That’s what you will be saying when you see the Summerific® Berry Awesome Hibiscus in bloom. More prolific than older varieties, the 8-inch diameter blooms are way larger than tropical hibiscus, on a bush that is incredibly cold tolerant. A glowing purple-lilac, with frilly edges, you will love the blooms, which keep coming and coming from midsummer right up to the first hard frost. A great plant for later blooming in your garden, the color goes splendidly with the typical oranges and yellows of summer perennials, and looks great in a pot or planter box too. Forming a mounding shrub, the deep-green foliage makes the perfect background for the flowers, and create a wonderful shrub in between clipped evergreens, at the back of a shrub bed, or on a small lawn as a specimen. Growing rapidly, it comes back strongly in spring, even in cold parts of the country.

• Gorgeous purple-lilac blooms like dinner plates
• Dense mound of green leaves to 4 feet tall
• Continuous blooms from midsummer right up to the first hard frost
• Handsome dark-green foliage on a dense, mounding bush
• Thrives in both cold zones and the hot, humid, Southeast

In full sun is the right spot for the Summerific® Berry Awesome Hibiscus. That way you will see rapid growth and abundant blooms. Plant it in any moist, neutral to acidic soil or in regular potting soil in a pot. It will even grow in wet ground by a pond or stream. Water frequently, especially during summer. Deer leave it alone and it doesn’t have any significant pests or diseases. Flowers drop naturally, making dead-heading unnecessary. Prune in spring, once you see new growth, removing all dead parts and cutting back to strong shoots. Fertilizer potted plants through spring and summer with liquid fertilizer for flowering plants. An easy choice, even for beginners in the garden.
