Hibiscus – Summer Carnival Rose Mallow
SKU: n/a.The fun never stops on Summer Carnival Rose Mallow, Hibiscus. In late summer, large, over 7″ across, deep magenta flowers bloom in abundance. These huge flowers look like they belong to a tropical plant rather than a hardy perennial. Vigorous variegated foliage of mint green, white, and pink emerges in late spring. As the foliage matures, the variegation becomes more striking, peaking at the same time flowers begin to emerge.
Other variegated-foliage varieties have been either slow-growing or had poor flower performance, but not Summer Carnival. It will quickly grow over 4′ tall and wide and bloom as prolifically as a plain-foliage Rose Mallow. Though they look like tropical transplants, Rose Mallows are actually native to Missouri, thriving in our hot summers and easily wintering through our tough winters. Water lovers, these plants can handle wet feet and soggy conditions.
Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours of sun a day, although with afternoon sun you can get away with a little less. Although drought tolerant they will perform best with consistent moisture. Hibiscus die back to the ground every year. Cut back dead wood in early spring. Hibiscus are one of the last perennials to emerge in spring, sometimes not until mid to late spring. They grow quickly though, catching up fast to other perennials.
