You will be head over heels for this absolutely charming plant, especially after it starts to flower. The Head Over Heels® Passion Hibiscus blooms in late spring and features bold pink flowers that are massive. The five petals slightly overlap, feature a dark pink eye, and have a slight texture that almost resembles crepe paper. The showy flowers are complemented by burgundy foliage.
This easy-care plant cannot help but become a focal point. Include this beauty in a mixed perennial bed and make a bold statement with other spring-blooming plants or feature with plants that bloom later in the season for continuous color. Grow in a container to showcase this beauty on a deck or patio space. You won’t be the only one drawn to the large flowers, as pollinators will visit the blooms. The Head Over Heels® Passion Hibiscus is a hardy hibiscus and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 10.

Feed the plant every 6 weeks using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Deadhead the perennial to encourage more blooms. Cut the Head Over Heels® Passion Hibiscus back after the frost.
