Dwarf Hardy Hibiscus |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.270.100
(='Balhiblu') A compact variety, this forms a medium-sized bushy mound of dark green leaves. Huge saucer-shaped flowers appear in mid summer and continue until frost. This selection has white blooms with a soft pink edge and red eye. Plants prefer evenly moist soil and sunny conditions. Stems die back completely to the ground in winter, but new growth is slow to appear in spring, so be patient! Old stems can be pruned to the ground in mid spring. A thick mulch for the first winter is recommended, especially in Zones 4 and 5. USPP#15054: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
