Glowing clear red 10" widely flaring flowers are born from summer to fall on this beautiful perennial Hibiscus. A compact habit and free flowering perennial Hibiscus with fine textured red or purple tinged foliage. A showstopper! Perennial Hibiscus are a host to a wide variety of butterfly caterpillars. The majority of the large flowered perennial Hibiscus cultivars found in horticulture are hybrids and selections of Hibiscus grandiflorus and H. moscheutos both of which are US natives.

A hardy Marsh Mallow with large wine red flowers on 3-4' stems in mid late summer. The finely cut burgundy foliage adds a nice textural interest all season. It is late to break dormancy in the spring, so be sure to mark its planting spot.
