1 GALLON POT
(Rose Mallow)

Zone 4

Full Sun

Hibiscus is a warm season plant and does not grow until the soil is warm therefore patience is required in the spring for this beauty to wake up – in southern Ontario mid-June. Excellent in the sunny border with large alliums which die back just as the hibiscus is starting to grow.

Incredibly dark, near-black, broad maple-like leaves form an upright clump in the landscape. Interesting 7-8 flowers are pale pink with darker pink speckling and veining. The flowers are held on bright green carpels, which contrast nicely with the dark foliage. Flowers are produced from the top to the bottom of the plant, rather than only at the top like some older cultivars.

This is truly a swoon-worthy hibiscus with pink blooms as big as one’s face and dark foliage providing a beautiful backdrop.
