From Blooms of Bressingham®'s Hibiscus Cordials Collection comes this new hybrid with large 8-10 inch, pink flowers that are dashed with streaks of deep reddish-pink throughout the flower petals. They match the bright red eye in the center of each flower.
This plant has a sturdy, upright habit with good branching and green, maple-cut leaves. It can easily take the place of a shrub in the landscape and makes a great specimen plant. In our gardens, this plant grew to 6 feet tall and wide in four years. It has grown in size each year it has been in the garden!

Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well-drained soil. Keeping these plants watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage. Deadheading will improve the appearance of the plant. It is best to plant Hibiscus in the garden before the heat of the summer arrives, and should be heavily mulched the first winter. In spring, cut back any remaining stems before new growth appears. A strong pair of loppers or a saw will be necessary to cut this plant back. Be advised that Hibiscus is always one of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Its vigorous growth rate more than makes up for this late start, however. Japanese beetles find these plants especially delicious.
