Zone 4-9

Full Sun

Why you need this plant:       Lightly ruffled flowers.  Blends beautifully with other cool-colored perennials of mid-summer bloom.

 
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.
