More Information

Description If you are looking for sophisticated perennials at their best in summer, voilà: Summerific® French Vanilla Hibiscus from Proven Winners. Also known as perennial hibiscus or rose mallow (or botanically as Hibiscus moscheutos), this sun-loving perennial welcomes summer with dozens of big, satellite-dish-shaped blooms of creamy white with a dazzling red center. They become even lovelier coupled with the dramatic purple-black foliage. Like all of the plants in the Summerific® series, it has a graceful, rounded habit that's right at home in the landscape or flower garden. Summerific® hibiscus from Proven Winners are herbaceous perennials, so unlike their close cousin rose of Sharon, they die back to the ground in fall and begin each year fresh in spring. They are one of the latest perennials to emerge in spring, but watching them transform from tiny buds to big, healthy plants in a matter of weeks is nothing short of delightful. These are great plants for beginners – anyone, really! Details How To Grow

Gorgeous!

Bought 8 of these plants and they are all growing well. One of the plants had buds on it when I received it and it bloomed today. Such a pretty flower!

not sure

I received my plants in the next day. I planted them. I'm not sure how things are going to be yet because even with watering and planting in good soil they're both looking not so good.

Plant so small it is struggling to adapt

The plant was too small to be sold. Pretty much a loss.

Hello! We're sorry that you're having trouble with your plant. We do note that all of our plants are young on each product page and on our plant sizes page https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes.The size and maturity of the plants varies widely depending on the time of the year you purchased and if they were recently trimmed. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our greenhouses. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. We do keep our plants trimmed to encourage strong root development! Please email pictures of the plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible.
