Prolific pure white flowers with a deep burgundy eye, coupled with easy care requirements, make the Luna White Hibiscus a must-have. Showy flowers are 6 to 8 inches wide and slightly cupped. The contrast between the eye and the petals is bold and lovely. This shrub continually blooms during the warmer months for a stunning display all summer long. Well-maintained shrubs can be covered entirely in flowers during the peak bloom time.
The Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna White' can be featured as a focal point in a landscape, or combined with other white flowers in a mixed bed. Its compact size makes an excellent low hedge to border a walkway or driveway. The flowers support bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making this plant a functional part of a landscape. Grow the Luna White Hibiscus in zones 5 through 9.
Luna White Hibiscus Care
A sunny location helps the Luna White Hibiscus thrive. Plant this shrub in a spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Young plants prefer consistently damp soil, while established plants need water weekly. The Luna White Hibiscus can handle a dry spell but try to keep up with watering during a drought to maintain plant health and blooming. Hibiscus plants like rich, moist soil that promotes drainage. Apply a thick layer of mulch to retain dampness and keep the plant hydrated longer. Fertilize each spring using a slow-release product.
Regular pruning keeps the plant manageable and tidy while encouraging a full form. Trim the Luna White Hibiscus in late winter or early spring.
Luna White Hibiscus Spacing
The Luna White Hibiscus is a fast-growing shrub that reaches up to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 3 feet apart from center to center for a continuous hedge.
