Hardy Hibiscus (hardy zone 4-9) The hardy hibiscus is unlike any other plant in the garden. The hardy hibiscus plant offers flowers that are huge, colorful, and delightfully delicate. A unique quality of the hardy hibiscus is quite noticeable. The hardy hibiscus plant will wait until late spring to come up. Soil temperatures need to approach 70 degrees to awaken their winter hibernation. The hardy hibiscus is considered a perennial because, even though they have woody stems like a shrub, they die back to the ground each winter. They are hardy to zone 4 and with winter protection, they can be marginally grown in zone 3. Traditionally, the hardy hibiscus were large plants with large medium green leaves. Plants sizes today vary greatly. Many of today’s varieties offer smaller leaves on more compact plants. The more compact hardy hibiscus also exhibits incredible flower colors. Botanically, the hardy hibiscus plant is known as Hibiscus moscheutos. In summary, the hardy hibiscus is a fast growing plant, after their tardy spring emergence that exhibits large glorious flowers all summer long. Plant sizes and flower colors are varied and the hardy hibiscus plant is quite adaptable to planting sites and sun requirements. Ideally, they prefer slightly acidic soil PH and deep organic soils.
