Hibiscus Rose Mallow Summerific Lilac Crush

Add soft color to your garden with Summerific® Lilac Crush Hibiscus, featuring large ruffled lilac purple flowers with lavender-blue overtones and cherry red centers from mid-summer to early fall. The blooms emerge from striking crimson buds and appear more blue under cool weather conditions, creating a unique color display as temperatures shift. Foliage emerges coppery-bronze in spring before turning green for the season, adding multi-season interest. This tall selection reaches 6 feet in height with a 5-foot spread, making it perfect as a screen, backdrop for lower perennials, or specimen plant. The upright spreading habit and coarse texture work well in mass plantings or mixed borders where height is needed. Butterflies and hummingbirds are drawn to the showy blooms.
