Bring bold, tropical-looking color to your garden with Hibiscus × 'Summerific® Ballet Slippers' (Rose Mallow 'Summerific® Ballet Slippers'). This hardy hibiscus forms a strong, upright clump and produces very large, ruffled white flowers highlighted by a deep red eye and soft pink edging. The show starts in mid to late summer and can continue into early fall, right when many perennials begin to fade.

Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms up close, near a patio, walkway, or mixed border. Give it full sun for the best flowering, though it will also perform well in part shade, especially in hotter climates. Expect a mature size around 36-48 inches tall, with a broad, mounded spread that fills in nicely without constant fussing.

For best results, grow in rich soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. Water regularly during establishment and in dry spells, and apply mulch to help conserve moisture and protect the crown in winter. Stems die back after frost; simply cut the plant back in late fall or early spring and watch for new growth as temperatures warm. Feed lightly in spring, and avoid letting the soil dry out completely during peak summer heat.
