National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. This stunning hardy hibiscus creates a bold tropical look in any landscape with massive light pink blooms and deep burgundy foliage that resists fading even in the heat of summer. This vigorous perennial adds a reliable focal point that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies while remaining remarkably easy to maintain through the seasons. Bare root hibiscus arrive dormant and leafless, consisting of a healthy root system and sturdy crowns that are ready to establish quickly once planted into well prepared soil. These plants are easy to start, just soak the roots in water for several hours before planting them in a sunny location with good drainage. After planting, new growth will emerge from the base as the soil warms in late spring, eventually reaching its full bushy height and delivering a spectacular display of color. Bare root perennials offer an economical and reliable way to enjoy strong root development and beautiful seasonal flowering year after year. For gardeners in the coldest regions, this hardy variety can be overwintered in the ground with a thick layer of mulch or kept in containers in an unheated garage until spring.
