Hibiscus ‘French Vanilla’ — Hardy Hibiscus

Description

Hibiscus ‘French Vanilla’ is a hardy perennial with large creamy yellow flowers. It adds a soft, warm color to sunny beds and borders.

The plant dies back after frost and returns from the roots in spring. New growth may start late, then fill out fast in warm weather.

Sun and Soil

Plant it in full sun for the best bloom. Use rich soil that stays moist but drains well. For a soft pink and white bloom, see Hibiscus ‘Ballet Slippers’.

Water and Growth

Keep the root zone evenly moist in hot weather. Do not let the soil stay dry for long. For a berry-pink flower, see Hibiscus ‘Berry Awesome’.

Simple Care

Cut old stems back after frost or before spring growth. Feed lightly in spring if needed. For a darker foliage contrast, see Hibiscus ‘Dark Mystery’.
