The Luna Rose Hibiscus boasts dazzling flowers even in challenging conditions like heat and drought. The flowers bloom in shades of pink and rose and measure 6 to 8 inches wide. The Hibiscus moscheutos Luna Rose continually blooms for most of the summer. Each petal has a gentle ruffle that gives the shrub an understated flair. Rich green foliage comes to a point and has gently serrated edges, complementing the blooms.
This shrub packs a big visual impact into a compact form and stands about 3 feet tall. Feature the Luna Rose Hibiscus in a mixed bed or foundation planting. Create a flowering hedge around a deck or patio without blocking a view. This hibiscus grows in zones 5 through 9 and supports pollinators including bees and butterflies.
Luna Rose Hibiscus Care
Newly planted shrubs need consistent water, while established plants become drought tolerant. While the Luna Rose Hibiscus can handle a dry spell, it will hold up better if it receives regular water. Plant it in full sun to support an abundant bloom cycle. This hibiscus thrives in rich, moist, but well-drained soil. Fertilize the Luna Rose Hibiscus with a slow-release product in early spring.
Limited pruning maintains the shape and encourages continued growth and a full form. Prune the Luna Rose Hibiscus in late winter or early spring.
Luna Rose Hibiscus Spacing
At 3 feet tall and wide, the Luna Rose Hibiscus is a medium-sized shrub. For a continuous planting, space these shrubs 3 feet apart center on center.
