Raspberry Smoothie™ Hardy Hibiscus

The Raspberry Smoothie™ Hardy Hibiscus is smothered in gorgeous blooms from mid-summer to the first hard frost. The very large flowers have many petals filling the center of a bowl-shaped bloom. They are a delicious raspberry-red color, highlighted with many shades from light to dark. The clean, glossy, dark-green foliage is the perfect backdrop for them, and this upright, medium-sized dense shrub is perfect as a specimen in the garden or in tubs, or for growing out in your beds

• Delicious raspberry-red double blossoms
• Long blooming season from mid-summer to first frost
• Great plant for hot and sunny areas
• Excellent for tubs and planter boxes
• Doesn’t seed, so blooms longer

The Raspberry Smoothie™ Hardy Hibiscus will bloom like crazy in full sun, and also tolerate a couple of hours of shade each day without problems. It grows in almost any soil, as long as it is well-drained. Pests, diseases and deer normally stay away from it, and it only takes a simple trim in early spring to keep it vigorous and neat. Drought resistant, it benefits from a deep soaking from time to time during the heat of summer.
