The Danica Hardy Hibiscus is a wonderful late-blooming shrub for hot, dry places, even in urban conditions and tough new gardens. It blooms profusely from summer all through fall, and the wonderful blooms are so beautiful and unique. Each one is a big ball of ruffled petals in shading tones of pink, tipped with bright red as if it has been dipped in a pot of red ink. The foliage is glossy and dark green, more reliable than most other varieties. This shrub reaches 6 to 10 feet tall within a few years, making it great for new gardens, filling corners of your garden, as a lawn specimen, an informal screen, or in a big tub or planter.
Grow the Danica Hardy Hibiscus in full sun, or perhaps a little partial shade, in any and all well-drained soils. Once established it loves heat, and tolerates drought. Pests, diseases and deer normally leave it alone, and it grows well where other shrubs fail. Some spring pruning will control the size, if needed, and a deep watering during long dry spells will keep it going strong.
