Hollywood Hibiscus™ Sunset Boulevard™ Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'JBG 19034') brings dramatic warm two-toned flowers from late spring well into summer. The contrast between the bright orange petals and burgundy centers is highlighted against the shrub's dark green foliage. It often reaches around 3 to 4 feet tall, staying nicely contained in both landscape beds and patio planters. Sunset Boulevard™ is an excellent choice for continuous color and a compact habit that suits smaller spaces.
Its semi-evergreen nature can remain attractive in frost-free climates, and it generally remains free of major pest issues when grown in suitable conditions. This tropical shrub tolerates moderate dryness once roots are settled, though consistent watering keeps it at peak performance. Originating from warmer regions, it can serve as a summer annual in cooler zones or a year-round focal point in mild areas. It works well in mixed borders, mass plantings, or as a striking container specimen.
Hollywood Hibiscus™ Sunset Boulevard™ Tropical Hibiscus Care
Find a site with full sun, or at least six hours of direct light, and amend the soil to promote good drainage. Provide routine irrigation during high heat, but avoid waterlogged conditions. A balanced fertilizer every two to four weeks promotes steady bud formation, and a slightly acidic to neutral pH is usually suitable. In colder zones, plant it in large pots and move it indoors once nighttime temperatures trend below 50°F.
Regular trimming of spent blooms keeps Sunset Boulevard™ looking tidy, while cutting back straggly shoots helps sustain a neat form. Inspect for damaged or diseased stems and remove them to encourage healthy regrowth. In regions with harsh winters, position container-grown plants near a sunny window indoors or in a heated greenhouse, watering sparingly so roots do not stay soggy. Potted specimens enjoy a high-quality potting mix and occasional re-potting if they become root-bound.
Hollywood Hibiscus™ Sunset Boulevard™ Tropical Hibiscus Spacing
Leave about 48 inches between individual shrubs in rows or larger displays. Tighter grouping creates a denser hedge but may require more frequent pruning. A container 18 inches wide supports young plants, granting enough room for root expansion.

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.
