Summerific Spinderella Hibiscus (Rose Mallow) – 2 Gallon Pot

Other Common Names: Spinderella Rose Mallow, Spinderella Hardy Hibiscus

One that both northern and southern gardeners can grow outdoors year round, ‘Spinderella’ is long-blooming perennial Hibiscus that is cold hardy all the way to USDA Zone 4a. Perfectly named for its pinwheel-like flowers with turning petals. The very large 8″ diameter white flowers are accented with medium pink with overlapping petals surrounding a deep red eye. Dark green leaves form a tidy, dense and well-rounded mound to about 5 feet tall and wide that will fit perfectly as the centerpiece of your garden. The impeccable habit is a great improvement over other varieties of this flower type. Not only you will enjoy this marvelous plant, the butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for including it in your garden.

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 4.5 to 5 feet wide, the Spinderella Hibiscus makes a bold and beautiful specimen in the landscape or in large containers. Especially impressive in groupings of three or as a colorful hedge. Because it blooms all summer and into fall, and has such bold foliage, it makes a nice backdrop or centerpiece in flower gardens. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens and for adding a tropical flare to your outdoor living spaces.

Suggested Spacing:  3.5 to 4 feet apart for hedge;  7 feet or more apart for space between plants

Hardy Hibiscus are very easy to grow. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine, though some shade is tolerated. During prolonged periods of summer drought plants will appreciate supplemental water to bloom their best. Maintenance is minimal requiring just one pruning a year to prune plants back to ground when new growth begins to emerge in spring.
