The Double Purple Hardy Hibiscus is a wonderful heirloom shrub that grows over 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, with attractive glossy leaves. It has unique double flowers that are a beautiful purple-pink color, with ruffled central petals and a hidden heart of deep red. These large blooms decorate the plant from mid-summer all through September, brightening your garden after most other shrubs have finished blooming. It makes a gorgeous lawn specimen, or a key element in your shrub beds. It thrives in the heat and sun, and it is also perfect for large tubs and planter boxes.
Plant the Double Purple Hardy Hibiscus in full sun. It will tolerate a little shade, and it thrives in long hot summers. It will grow in any well-drained soil, benefiting from an occasional deep watering during the driest times. It is normally untouched by pests or diseases, deer leave it alone, and it even tolerates ocean salt in coastal areas and urban pollution. A simple spring pruning is all it takes to enjoy months and months of blooming from the trouble-free plant.
