Hibiscus Rose Mallow Watermelon Ruffles

Make a bold statement with Watermelon Ruffles Hibiscus, featuring enormous 7-inch magenta pink flowers with heavily ruffled, puckered petals that appear notched at the ends from mid-summer through early fall. This unique selection produces flowers indeterminate along the length of the stems rather than just at the tips, resulting in more blooms earlier in the season compared to traditional hardy hibiscus. The dark green foliage has a bronze cast that complements the vibrant flower color. Reaching 54 inches in both height and spread, this upright selection works perfectly as a focal point in beds and borders or as a thriller in large containers. Heat tolerant and deer resistant, it attracts bees and hummingbirds throughout the blooming season.
