Use as a stand-alone specimen or landscape focal point without sacrificing space! The dramatic leaves, with their reddish to burgundy tinge stand out as backdrops, hedges, and in groupings with ease!

Add to large planters in any sunny setting - the balcony, the back deck, the poolside deck, or even the front porch to add a tropical flair that shrugs off the winter chill! Just give these planters some extra winter protection in the coldest growing zones. But unlike Tropical Hibiscus, these perennials come back each spring bigger and better without the fuss!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
So, how do you keep such a blazing and stunning beauty happy? Plant your Head Over Heels® Blush Hibiscus in full sun with soil that doesn't stay wet. This glorious native Rose Mallow relative prefers regular moisture for the best performance. Add some Nature Hills Root Booster at the time of planting and top off with a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch for a lifetime of easy-care beauty!
Gardeners also adore the Head Over Heels® Blush Hibiscus's ability to die back each winter and return in spring with as much vigor and energy as the year before. And this variety also demonstrates a superb level of heat and sun tolerance. In fact, it loves to soak in the rays as it shoots towards the sky!
Perennial Hibiscus should be cut back to 4-6" from the ground in the early spring while you wait for that new growth to appear. Just be patient - Sometimes these plants are the last to show up for the party each spring. But they are fast-growing and well worth the wait!
- Humidity, Heat & Cold-Hardy
- Full Sun Perennial Plants
- Moderate/Regular Moisture All Summer
- Adaptable to Most Rich Well-Drained Soil Types
