Add bold late-summer color with Hibiscus × 'Summerific Candy Crush', a hardy hibiscus (Rose Mallow 'Summerific® Candy Crush') known for its oversized, bubblegum-pink flowers that open day after day when the heat is on.
In the landscape, you get a lush, upright, shrub-like perennial that reaches about 48-54 inches tall and develops a broad, full shape. Plant it where you want a focal point in mixed beds, along fences, or near patios where the blooms can be enjoyed up close.
For best performance, give it full sun to part shade and evenly moist, well-drained soil. Like many hardy hibiscus, it appreciates regular watering during dry spells, especially while establishing, and it thrives in rich garden soil amended with compost. Mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
This is a herbaceous perennial that dies back in winter and returns late in spring. Cut old stems back before new growth appears, then let it grow on its own through summer for a big, dramatic show.
