#ProPlantTips for Care:
This is a perfect plant for newbie gardeners. Hardy Hibiscus are low-maintenance and tolerates a lot of different growing conditions. Provide a sheltered spot to protect against the worst of the winds. You won't want those precious blooms to get tattered or torn! Hibiscus does love the sun, but this variety can also perform well with afternoon shade. They'll need at least 4 hours of sunlight a day, so study your site to see where you'll plant them.
They do best in moist, yet well-drained soil, and will put up with a little drought and can handle the occasional puddle. Keep them watered regularly, especially if you are using them as container plants. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch over the root systems to keep it nice and cool.
Keep this rock star tidy by removing spent flowers after they are finished. In early spring, trim back each of the woody stems right to the ground. In late spring, you'll be so excited to see the new stems emerge from the roots. Be patient with these late starters! They'll grow right back to amaze you and your friends once again.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Average Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Regular Moisture Until Established
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade
- Dies To The Ground Each Winter - Prune Early Spring
Life is short! Go ahead and let the hardy Hibiscus, SUMMERIFIC® Cherry Choco Latte, make a big impact in your landscape. Bring on the look of the tropics! Order today from Proven Winners® and Nature Hills!
