Destined to be the showpiece of any setting, this magnificent new Hibiscus wows with 6- to 8-inch blooms of the deepest, most velvety red ever seen in the family. Wide, rounded, overlapping petals are neatly pleated and gently ruffled at the tips, which are slightly darker, as if outlining the bloom for greater effect. There has never been a Hibiscus like Honeymoon!
Best of all, this plant is quite compact, so you can grow it in patio containers as well as the sunny border -- but for all its smaller size, it sets masses of big, dinner-plate-sized flowers! The blooms begin swirling open when the first warm weather of summer arrives, and continue until the chilly temperatures of fall nip them back. You will be amazed at the flower power.
Expect Honeymoon Deep Red to reach 24 to 30 inches high and nearly as wide (20 to 24 inches is the average). A very quick grower, it's easy to sow right in the soil in spring or fall -- or begin it indoors and then transplant as soon as the soil is warm and the seedlings have at least 2 sets of true leaves. Hibiscus thrives in full sunshine, loves heat, and doesn't mind drought. However, it does best in moist soils, and even tolerates damp, poorly-draining sites. Versatile and foolproof, Honeymoon is the perfect choice for your garden and patio!
A toweringly tall and upright perennial (8 feet tall by 2-3 feet wide) for the backs of sunny borders and naturalized areas. The 8 inch diameter flowers open in summer in colors of crimson, pink, or white. The green, 4-10 inch long leaves are ovate to lanceolate and have toothed margins

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
