Red Hibiscus
Red Hibiscus has deep scarlet flowers that serve as eye-catching focal points, adding a splash of vibrant color that instantly draws attention and adds vibrancy to any garden or landscape design. The lush, evergreen foliage provides a lush backdrop that enhances the contrast and highlights the beauty of the flowers.
The beauty of the red hibiscus can be enjoyed throughout much of the year, making it a lovely option to incorporate into your landscape design. This plant, which is also known as the rose of Sharon, is native to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climates. Because of this, it is well-suited for your yard's warmer and moister areas. What are some top reasons to update your landscaping with this flowering plant?
It blooms in the latter half of the summer, while many other flowering plants bloom in the spring and early summer. Because of its late blooming period, the plant is the perfect way to enjoy color in your yard for a more extended period each year. The rose petals are dainty and well-defined, with a beautiful yellow stamen. The distinctive look makes them a gorgeous focal point of your space.
Red Hibiscus Has Stunning Fall Foliage
After the crimson blooms fade at the end of the summer season, the green leaves turn stunning shades of yellow and orange. While many flowering plants turn brown when cold weather arrives, this plant continues to dress up your space through autumn. The foliage will fall to the ground and return in early spring to provide a fresh, green color to your landscape.
Red Hibiscus Will Help You Attract Pollinators
While the flowers generally do not have a strong scent that appeals to people, insects and birds are strongly attracted to the flowers. More specifically, the flowers draw hummingbirds and pollinating insects to your yard, benefiting other plants. In addition, these insects are natural predators of some damaging and unwanted pests that otherwise would thrive in the yard, providing you with natural insect control.
Red Hibiscus Gets Fairly Large
Red Hibiscus is a large plant that can grow seven feet or more in height and four feet wide. From a small plant, you can expect the rose of Sharon to reach full maturity in only two to three years with minimal care. They do best in damp soil and direct exposure to sunlight.

What To Expect
The plants we ship are bare root and dormant. They have no leaves, blooms, greenery, or foliage. We do not ship plants in a container. Why pay 500% more for a container and heavy soil to be shipped? Also, dormant plants have a much higher survival rate than bloomed-out or leafed-out plants. We ship healthy bare-root plants because we know they will thrive in this state when planted. That's Why we offer a 1 Year Guarantee. We know when Spring time rolls back around, your plants will do exceptionally well.
