Hibiscus ‘Perfect Storm’ — Hardy Hibiscus

Description

Hibiscus ‘Perfect Storm’ is a hardy perennial with large white and pink flowers. Dark foliage gives the blooms strong contrast in summer beds.

The plant dies back after frost and returns from the roots in spring. It may start late, then grow fast once warm weather arrives.

Sun and Soil

Plant it in full sun for the darkest leaves and the most flowers. Use rich soil that stays moist but drains well. For another dark-leaf hibiscus, see Hibiscus ‘Dark Mystery’.

Water and Growth

Keep the root zone evenly moist during hot weather. Do not let the soil stay dry for long. For a softer pink and white flower, see Hibiscus ‘Ballet Slippers’.

Simple Care

Cut old stems back after frost or before spring growth. Feed lightly in spring if needed. For another bicolor hardy hibiscus, see Hibiscus ‘Spinderella’.
