Bring dramatic contrast to your summer garden with Hibiscus × 'Summerific® Cookies & Cream' (Rose Mallow 'Summerific® Cookies & Cream'). This hardy, herbaceous hibiscus pairs nearly black to deep purple foliage with large, pure white blooms for a striking look in beds and borders.

Plant it where you can give it full sun for the deepest foliage color, though it will also perform in part sun/part shade. Provide consistently moist, well-drained soil; regular watering during hot weather helps support lush growth and bigger flowers. Space plants so air can move through the canopy and so the mature clump has room to fill out.

Expect it to emerge late in spring, then grow quickly once temperatures warm. Flowers appear in mid to late summer and can continue into fall, giving you a long season of bloom. Use it as a focal point, in mixed borders, or near water features where the soil stays evenly moist.

Care is simple: keep the root zone mulched to hold moisture and moderate soil temperature. Cut stems back in spring before new growth appears and remove old debris to keep the plant tidy. With its bold foliage and luminous blooms, this cultivar adds a clean, modern look to classic cottage-style plantings too.
