A late summer bloomer that packs a punch well into the fall this “dinner plate hibiscus” has it all. Huge bright pink flowers adore this compact perennial and provide a stunning contrast to the burgundy foliage. Numerous Buds emerge in clusters on the tips of the long stems in August and continue blooming well into the cooler weather. Under the right conditions they will continue flowering right up until the first frost.
This low maintenance, compact shrub-like perennial is susceptible to few insect pests or diseases. Thrives in the heat and somewhat drought tolerant but should be watered frequently until well established. Would do well in a mass planting, accent in a perennial bed or in a large container in that sunny spot on the front porch.
Head Over Heels® Adore Hibiscus Care
Hibiscus love a well-drained, rich soil that their fleshy roots can travel through freely as they are the powerhouse of this perennial. For the best results they should be planted in full sun where the soil has been amended with peat moss and either compost or cow manure. Hibiscus do well in soil that is slightly on the acidic side.
This perennial is carefree when it comes to maintenance. Once all the flowers have passed the dried stalks can be cut down to a few inches above the ground. Deadheading will help prevent it from producing seed pods, which some varieties will do more freely than others, and help put more energy into producing flower buds.
Head Over Heels® Adore Hibiscus Care
Reaching a height of 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide this perennial could quickly become a beautiful, but temporary, hedge over the course of the summer. Used as an accent plant on its own, in a mass planting or in a pot this hibiscus is sure to make you go Head Over Heels wherever you plant it.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
