| Hibiscus moscheutos 'Lord Baltimore' | | Common Name: | Rose Mallow | | Bloom color: | Red | | Height: | 4'-6' | | Bloom: | July-Sept | | Hardiness: | Zone 4-8 | | Light: | Full Sun | | Soil: | Moist, humus rich soil | Why you need this plant: A real traffic stopper! This variety really does lord over display beds when in bloom. The huge, bright red blooms, with slightly ruffled edges, are the size of dinner plates! A must for the perennial border. | | | Planting Info: Prefers a wet soil, the wetter the better with Full Sun. Deadheading is advisable to keep the plant appearance neat and to prolong bloom. Stems are strong and rarely need staking, they may also be left until spring when they need to be trimmed off to stimulate new growth. But take care not to disturb foliage underneath, Hibiscus are late to break dormancy in spring. They are heavy feeders so a good dose of fertilizer is needed in spring to kick start growth. | |
