The Peppermint Smoothie™ Hardy Hibiscus has big, frilly blooms that are packed with ruffled petals in glowing candy pink. A deep red heart adds depth and interest. This compact bush grows no more than 6 or 8 feet tall, and it has a neat, upright form. The rich green leaves are glossy and clean and stay that way all season. Blooming begins in mid-summer and continues to the first hard frost. A wonderful choice for a lawn specimen, in shrub beds for late color, and in planters for your terrace or patio.
The Peppermint Smoothie™ Hardy Hibiscus grows best in full sun, but it will take a little afternoon shade too. It grows in any well-drained soil, thriving in heat and sun, and it is drought tolerant when established. Pests and diseases normally don’t bother it, and deer leave it alone. A simple spring trimming and some fertilizer are all it takes to keep it blooming like crazy.
