Cookies and Cream Hardy Hibiscus

Classic, huge white blooms against deep, purple-green foliage provide a gorgeous pop of contrast! Hardy Hibiscus, also called rose mallow, is a stunner in the summer garden! One of the last plants to emerge in late spring, these beauties love the heat and wait for the ground to warm up before sending up shoots. Hardy hibiscus are actually native to North America, including Kansas. These beauties love a sunny area, especially in a more wet spot, but can do well in a drier spot that is mulched and watered to retain moisture. Hardy Hibiscus are butterfly favorites, with lots of pollen and nectar on their stamens. They are also deer and critter resistant. Cookies and Cream features dark purple foliage and bright, contrasting white blooms with a slight yellow flush at the center. The flowers on this hardy hibiscus have a slight ruffle, with large, 6-7" blooms. The more sun it receives, the deeper the leaf color becomes, so be sure to find a sunny spot to really get that depth of color. Cookies and Cream is more compact than other varieties, maturing to 2.5-3 foot tall and 3-4 foot wide.
