MoonShadow™ Carmine Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'G16124') is a gorgeous new variety of perennial Hibiscus with loads of improvements over standard varieties! Starting with the enormous brilliant red satiny petals that are 100% highly saturated, intense color! These huge blooms with their overlapping petals form wide open trumpets and each features the pale, buttery yellow stamen that you'd expect from the Hibiscus flower family! Then add profuse flowering, reduced viable seeds, and insect damage resistance!
Need more to set this unique plant apart from the rest? The Carmine Hardy Hibiscus is backed by a four-foot-tall and wide mound of dark mocha-brown to dark violet foliage that can also be deep dark green depending on sunlight, temperature, and nutrition availability! The color play is incredible! The blooms arrive in huge clusters, lasting all summer and well into autumn, attracting droves of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!
Typically, Hibiscus can be a bit slow to get growing in the spring, but Carmine kicks the season off a bit earlier, and you get high-impact flowers and foliage growing from the ground to full size in a single growing season! MoonShadow™ Hibiscus are improved versions of the exotic-looking woody perennial plants that die back to the ground in late autumn. Once established, they are tolerant of a wide range of soil types, moisture availability and climates! Thriving in USDA growing zones 5 through 9!
Planting and Application:
Hardy Hibiscus thrive in Rock Garden conditions and look great as focal points, garden anchors and as bright punches of color throughout your Perennial, Mixed-Shrub and Rose gardens! Create vivid low-privacy screens all growing seasons around poolside plantings with other Hibiscus or tropical plants! Spice up a backyard seating area, or add pops of juicy color around your porch and patio, so you feel like you've been whisked away by tropical flair!
MoonShadow™ Carmine is an incredibly brilliant-colored bloom that is sure to stand out in any landscape or garden bed! Plant in pollinator gardens, as a backdrop to a cottage border and in eye-catching bursts of color along paths, the driveway or on either side of your driveway entrance. No one will miss the turn into your home again! Use in rows or groupings to catch the attention of everyone!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hardy Hibiscus needs full sun locations for the best color. Plant in enriched and well-drained soils for the best results, however once established, they can be very drought tolerant. Prune all stems to the ground in late fall after the frost kills off the foliage and remove all debris from the area.

- Moderate Moisture & Almost Any Well-Drained Soil
- Shown Japanese Beetle Resistance
- Low-Maintenance & Easy Care
- Prune to Ground in Autumn
