MoonShadow™ Rosita Hardy Hibiscus

MoonShadow™ Rosita Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'G19164') is a gorgeous new variety of perennial Hibiscus with so many improvements, that it will make your head spin! Starting with the enormous vivid bi-color petals that are a swirling mix of Rosita-red centers that spiral out along the veins among the broad pale baby pink petals! The centers are a pale buttery yellow stamen that you'd expect from the Hibiscus flower family! Then add profuse flowering, reduced viable seeds, and insect damage resistance!

Rosita 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!

Hardy Hibiscus are woody perennial plants that die back to the ground each fall and can be a bit slow to get growing in the spring, but MoonShadow™ series plants get growing sooner and bloom longer, so you get high-impact flowers and foliage in a hurry! Once established, they tolerate a wide range of soil types, moisture availability, and climates, thriving in USDA growing zones 5 through 9! Plus, this new and improved variety has shown significant resistance to Japanese Beetles!
