Hollywood Hibiscus™ America's Sweetheart™ Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'JBG 19110') shows off pink petals highlighted by a dark pink center. This sun-loving shrub often reaches three to four feet tall, delivering steady color through the warm seasons. Its two-tone flowers draw attention among other tropical varieties, and it brings a unique splash of soft hues wherever it’s placed.
This evergreen plant stays lush in mild regions and attracts pollinators with its open blooms. Deer tend to leave it alone, and we’ve seen strong performance with moderate watering habits. America's Sweetheart™ adapts well to patio containers, borders, or even mass groupings. Use it as a focal point in outdoor living spaces or to brighten a garden nook.
Hollywood Hibiscus™ America's Sweetheart™ Tropical Hibiscus Care
Provide fertile, well-draining soil that hovers between a slightly acidic and neutral pH. Full sun enhances flower production, though partial shade may help in areas with scorching mid-afternoon rays. Water thoroughly once the top inch of soil has dried, and feed with a balanced fertilizer through the growing season. Container-grown plants often need additional watering attention, especially during peak heat.
Light pruning keeps the shrub tidy, and removing any leggy growth in spring encourages fresh branching. We’ve noticed minimal trimming is necessary once the shrub is well established, though shaping in late winter can be useful. In colder zones, move potted specimens indoors before frost or house them in a heated greenhouse. Choose pots with reliable drainage, and repot as roots expand, refreshing the potting mix when needed.
Hollywood Hibiscus™ America's Sweetheart™ Tropical Hibiscus Spacing
Leave four feet between shrubs for a healthy row or mass planting, which supports development of a full form. A container measuring at least 16 inches across suits a newly purchased plant.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
