Vintage Wine Hardy Hibiscus

Living up to the spirit of its name, the Hibiscus Vintage Wine does get better with time with black buds that unfurl to reveal huge, scarlet red blooms. Although each bloom only lasts for one day, the bush generously produces several new blooms each day - for a show that lasts well into the fall. The romantic effect of the deep red blooms against the heart shaped green leaves make it an eye catching addition to any outdoor space. Hardy Hibiscus plants thrive in full sun locations with moist-wet, nutrient rich soil. Stems should be cut back in late winter. They are late to break ground in the spring.
