Hibiscus rubrum is a vigorous, large-scale shrub or dieback perennial known for its striking cherry-red blooms and lush, emerald-green foliage. Reaching heights of eight to fifteen feet, this hybrid features broad, poplar-shaped leaves that provide a dense, tropical backdrop for its massive six-inch flowers. Thriving in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, it is a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies. Perfect for borders, it offers reliable late-season color from summer into fall.
