Hibiscus ‘moscheutos’blooms for 1 day

Does it take a green thumb to grow a five
foot tall hibiscus with a 10 inch bloom? Nope, all hibiscus need to
flourish is full sun and consistently moist, well drained soil.

Common Names: Rose Mallow, Swamp Mallow, Hardy Hibiscus, Dinner-Plate Hibiscus, Fleming hybrid Hibiscus, or Perennial Hibiscus.
Hardiness Zones: 4 to 9; Hardy to -30F degrees.

A hardy perennial that is categorized as a deciduous woody shrub, Hibiscus ‘moscheutos’ is cold hardy like to
Hibiscus syriacus (Rose-of-Sharon), but produces large blooms that are
similar to tropical Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.

Plant the hibiscus crown at or just below soil level in a moist, well-drained, sunny location. Keeping these plants
watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage. Do not
over-water dormant plants, but after dormancy is broken, do not let
plants wilt. Provided with organic soil (or a fertilizer application in
the spring) and plenty of water, Hibiscus ‘moscheutos’ will continue
its vigorous growth rate through the summer. Fertilizer should not be
used after June to ensure that the hibiscus flower production is not
impeded by excess nitrogen. To encourage branching, pinch plants back
when new shoots are 2 inches long. Do not pinch all the way back to the
hardwood portion of the stem.

Hardy hibiscus begins blooming in mid-summer and will often continue producing flowers until frost. One hibiscus
plant can produce hundreds of flowers, especially with deadheading to
prolong the bloom period.

It is best to plant Hibiscus in the garden before the heat of the summer arrives. Hibiscus should be heavily
mulched the first winter. In spring, cut back any remaining stems
before new growth appears. Be advised: Hibiscus ‘moscheutos’ loves heat
and need long days to break dormancy; it is always one of the last
plants to emerge each spring. However, its vigorous growth rate more
than makes up for this late start.

Hibiscus can be used in the garden as focal point, as a border or arranged to provide an informal hedge. Some
perennial hibiscus plants are compact and some habits are taller.

Perennial Hibiscus plants have no severe pest or disease problems.
