MoonShadow™ Morello Hardy Hibiscus

MoonShadow™ Morello Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'G19163') is a gorgeous new variety of perennial Hibiscus with loads of improvements over standard varieties! Starting with the enormous juicy cherry-red petals that are highly saturated, intense color from center to edge! 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!

Morello 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 all summer and into autumn, attracting droves of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!

MoonShadow™ are improved versions of the classic tropical-looking woody perennial plants that die back to the ground each fall. Once established, they tolerate a wide range of soil types, moisture availability, and climates, thriving in USDA growing zones 5 through 9! Typically, Hibiscus is a bit slow to get growing in the spring, but Morello 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! Plus, this new and improved variety has shown significant resistance to Japanese Beetles!

Planting and Application:

Hardy Hibiscus can tolerate Rock Garden conditions and look great as specimen plantings, garden anchors and as focal points in your perennial and Rose gardens! Create vivid low privacy and screening around the backyard seating areas, spice up poolside plantings, or add juicy color around your porch and patio, so you feel like you've been enveloped in exotic juicy color!

MoonShadow™ Morello is an incredibly vivid, intensely colored bloom that stands out in any landscape or garden bed!

#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.
