Summerific Hibiscus

The Summerific Series Hibiscus offers gigantic showy petals that will be sure to attract everyone’s eyes. These flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators. These plants are nicknamed the dinner plate because the flowers
on the plant are huge! Here in Wisconsin these flowers can bloom from late summer into early fall. Hibiscus’s generally like moist soil and part-full sunlight. Keeping these plants watered will result in large flowers and lush foliage. These plants can benefit from deadheading to improve their appearance. The best time to cut back the stems are in Spring before new growth appears. The Summerific Series gives a tropical luxury to the landscape and is hardy in zones 4-9.
