Once summer rolls around and the Summerific® Valentines Crush Hibiscus starts to bloom, this plant will likely be the focal point of your landscape. The vibrant red flowers have dark eyes that surround bold yellow anthers. The flowers open until they are flat and measure about 7 inches across. This Hibiscus hybrid or Rose Mallow blooms from mid-summer until early fall. The stunning flowers are matched by large glossy foliage that comes to a point.
This large, upright shrub is striking as a border, or it can be featured in a landscape or used as a focal point. Rose Mallow plants are native to North America, so it is low maintenance once it has time to settle in. Butterflies are drawn to the large blooms as an added perk, but the foliage is deer resistant. Grow the Summerific® Valentines Crush Hibiscus as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.
Summerific® Valentines Crush Hibiscus Care
Hibiscus look their best when grown in full sunlight, although they can handle partial sun. Use moist, well-draining soil with a 6.0 to 6.5 pH. Rose Mallow has average water needs but plan to water the plant a few times a week during a drought. Water right away if the leaves appear wilted.
Remove spent flowers during the summer to redirect energy into more flowers. Cut the plant back in the spring before new growth appears. Trimming the plant early keeps it at a more manageable size and will promote more growth. Apply a water-soluble balanced fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks.
Summerific® Valentines Crush Hibiscus Spacing
The Summerific® Valentines Crush Hibiscus will reach 60 inches tall and 42 inches wide. Create a hedge-like look by planting multiple Hibiscus 42 inches apart. Measure from the center of one root ball to the center of the nearest plant to find the right spacing. When used as a specimen or landscape planting, space 60 inches away from other plants and buildings.

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.
