Why You’ll Love It

• A native selection with dramatic garden presence—Enjoy the resilience of a hardy hibiscus with enormous red flowers and exceptionally dark foliage.
• Adapts to challenging soils—Grows well in a range of soil types and can even handle heavy clay.
• Thrives where moisture is plentiful—An excellent choice for consistently moist areas, though it doesn’t appreciate waterlogged or soggy soil.
• More sun brings out richer foliage color—Give it 6 hours or more of direct sun each day for the deepest wine-purple tones.
• Hardy all the way to Zone 4—Despite its tropical-looking flowers, this perennial is tough enough for cold northern winters.
• Returns fresh from the roots every year—Plants die completely back to the ground for winter, then send up vigorous new growth as temperatures warm.
• Worth the spring wait—Hardy hibiscus is naturally later to emerge than many other perennials, then grows quickly once warm weather arrives.
• Choose the size that works for you—Available in Premium, 1 Gallon and Jumbo 3 Gallon sizes to suit your budget and planting plans.
