Hollywood Hibiscus Social Butterfly Tropical Hibiscus

Hollywood Hibiscus Social Butterfly™ is a tropical evergreen selection with pink, fuchsia, yellow, and white petals. The breeder lists it at about 4 feet tall by 5 feet wide, with flowers from spring until first frost in warm conditions. ## Color and garden use The multicolored flowers bring a bright focal point to a sunny border or large patio container. The breeder recommends full sun, lists a long spring-to-frost season, and describes the plant as easy to care for. Its exact trade identity is Social Butterfly™ within the Hollywood Hibiscus collection. [J. Berry Nursery](https://www.jberrynursery.com/portfolio/hollywood-hibiscus-social-butterfly) ## Light, soil, and water Choose a warm, bright site with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Keep roots moist as the plant establishes, while avoiding persistently saturated ground. Tropical hibiscus grows as an evergreen shrub in warm climates and needs protection from cold and wind; in cooler regions, grow it in a movable container or use it as a seasonal patio accent. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/hibiscus-rosa-sinensis/common-name/chinese-hibiscus/) ## Maintenance Prune as needed to hold the desired shape. J. Berry recommends a year-round mulch layer and one early-spring application of balanced or low-phosphorus slow-release fertilizer. Bring container-grown plants to a warm, sheltered place before frost.
