One of the earliest Hardy Hibiscus to flower! 8" bright white flowers have raspberry red eyes that radiate out through the petals. Broad green foliage on red stems make up a well-rounded habit. Thick tuberous roots penetrate deep even the heaviest clay soils, allowing this plant to endure extended periods without water. Likewise, tolerance of mild flooding and prolonged periods of moisture make this the perfect candidate for rain gardens.
These North American native plants bring massive, tropical-looking flowers all the way to zone 4. Although later to emerge than most perennials in spring, these are fast growing plants capable of adding an inch of new growth a day. Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens.
