MoonShadow™ Carmine Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'G16124') is a gorgeous new variety of perennial Hibiscus with loads of improvements over standard varieties! Starting with the enormous brilliant red satiny petals that are 100% highly saturated, intense color! These huge blooms with their overlapping petals form wide open trumpets and each features the pale, buttery yellow stamen that you'd expect from the Hibiscus flower family! Then add profuse flowering, reduced viable seeds, and insect damage resistance!

Need more to set this unique plant apart from the rest? The Carmine Hardy Hibiscus is backed by a four-foot-tall and wide mound of dark mocha-brown to dark violet foliage that can also be deep dark green depending on sunlight, temperature, and nutrition availability! The color play is incredible! The blooms arrive in huge clusters, lasting all summer and well into autumn, attracting droves of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!

Typically, Hibiscus can be a bit slow to get growing in the spring, but Carmine kicks the season off a bit earlier, and you get high-impact flowers and foliage growing from the ground to full size in a single growing season! MoonShadow™ Hibiscus are improved versions of the exotic-looking woody perennial plants that die back to the ground in late autumn. Once established, they are tolerant of a wide range of soil types, moisture availability and climates! Thriving in USDA growing zones 5 through 9!
