Set of 2 Hybrid Hibiscus in 6 Inch Nursery Pot (Any Colour)

A hybrid hibiscus is a broad category of hibiscus plants created by crossbreeding different species or cultivars to produce new varieties with desirable traits. Nearly all modern garden hibiscus are hybrids. These hybrids offer a wide range of unique flower colors, sizes, and plant characteristics that may not be present in wild hibiscus species.

Hardy hybrid hibiscus

Hardy hibiscus are deciduous, meaning their leaves fall off in the winter, and they die back to the ground in cold weather. They will regrow in the spring and are suitable for planting in the ground in colder regions. 

Characteristics:

• Cold tolerance: They can survive frigid winters, with some varieties withstanding temperatures as low as -30°F.
• Bloom period: They bloom in the summer and fall for a shorter period than tropical hibiscus.
• Flower size and color: They often produce very large, dinner-plate-sized flowers in shades of white, pink, and red, and may have a dark eye in the center.
• Growth habit: They grow as perennial shrubs with sturdy stems arising from a single crown.

Care & Tips

• Planting: Hibiscus plants can be grown in pots or directly in the soil. Potted plants can be brought during winter in colder climates.
• Sunlight: Hardy varieties prefer full sun, while tropical hybrids may need filtered sunlight in intense heat.
• Soil: Both types prefer moist, well-drained soil rich in organic content.
• Watering: Hibiscus are thirsty plants and need regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist.
