The perennial form of Hibiscus also known as Rose Mallow is the most tropical looking of all the perennials we offer. The flowers are the largest of of any perennial available to gardeners and make an outstanding focal point in the summer garden.

For the best results plant Hibiscus in rich moist soil in full sun. Plants will tolerate some shade but will result in fewer blooms. Some of the taller growing plants may need staking. Fertilize plants in mid to late spring with a good dressing of blood and bone meal. Plants will benefit from a second feeding in mid summer.

Hibiscus plants are one of the last perennials to emerge in the spirng. The plants will wait for warm nights and warm soil before showing any signs of growth. Perennial hibiscus plants are hardy to zone 4 and can survive in zone 3 with extra protection.
