Summer Storm Hibiscus - #1 Bareroot

(Hibiscus SUMMERIFIC™ 'Summer Storm' PP20443) This new Rose Mallow is outstanding for its rich deep purple foliage, its huge flowers up to 10 inches across, and its extra-long bloom time from midsummer all the way through early fall. It will really WOW! your neighbors, too! The burgundy leaf color makes the plant a real stand-out even before it begins blooming in midsummer; it is a prodigious producer of buds, so the dinner plate-size blooms just keep coming until stopped by cold weather. And the plant grows only 4-5' instead of the usual 6-8', great for today's smaller yards. Very easy to grow, it loves heat, and sun, does well in poor to average soil, and will tolerate both dry and moist conditions once established. Of course, it needs more care the first season while it is establishing its roots, so give it a good soaking each week for the first month after planting, and during dry spells thereafter.

Zones 4-9, 4-5' tall and wide, sun.
