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!
Planting and Application:
MoonShadow™ Rosita is an incredibly vivid, intensely colored bloom that stands out in any landscape or garden bed! Plant in pollinator gardens, perennial borders, and mix-shrub borders for an eye-catching burst of color! Use in rows or groupings to really draw the attention of everyone as a backdrop to a cottage border or spice up a front step planting!
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 backyard seating areas, poolside plantings, or meditation nooks so you feel like you've been enveloped in tropical juicy color!

#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
