The 6-6½" wide flowers, with thick petals for better weather resistance, appear along the stem, leading to more blooms earlier in the year. Ideal as a statement piece in garden beds or for retail display, this plant offers massive, tropical-looking flowers down to zone 4. Though slow to emerge in spring, it grows quickly, adding an inch of new growth a day and brightening end-of-season gardens.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hibiscus 'Marshmallow Moon'
Hibiscus thrive in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering and deadheading promote larger flowers and lush foliage. Plant before summer heat and mulch heavily in winter. In spring, cut back old stems with loppers or a saw before new growth starts. Be patient as Hibiscus is slow to emerge in spring, but its robust growth makes up for it. Watch for Japanese beetles, which are drawn to these plants.
