Hibiscus Luna™ Pink Swirl
Hummingbirds love this Rose Mallow, while deer tend to give it a miss.
These flowers are the size of dinner plates, and they almost hide the foliage at the height of bloom season, crowding onto well-branched but compact plants just 2 to 3 feet tall and about 2 feet wide. Expect the first buds to unfurl in midsummer, followed by dozens more before the season ends in late fall.
Luna™ Pink Swirl gleams in the late afternoon and twilight garden, its pure white tones outlasting the darker reds and purples of the sunny garden. It will put you in mind of luna moths, and is an excellent choice near the patio or deck where evening entertaining occurs.
This Hibiscus likes very moist, even wet soils, growing happily at water's edge. During dry spells give it extra moisture as needed to keep the flowers coming. Beyond this, it is virtually carefree. Zones 5-10. Pkt is 5 seeds.
