PETITTI Hardy Hibiscus | Grow This Native Perennial for Large Tropical Blooms + Deer Resistance

Perennial Hibiscus (aka Rose Mallow or Hardy Hibiscus) are a fantastic, heat-loving plant for full sun areas in the garden. Native to our area, they produce large blooms in the late summer months that the hummingbirds love! Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about the benefits of growing Hardy Hibiscus in your garden. Along with adding late-season blooms to the garden, there is so much more these Hibiscus have to offer. They are deer resistant, they require very little maintenance and they are tolerant of wet soil conditions! If you're looking for pink flowers, check out 'Super Rose', Summerific® 'Berry Awesome', or Summerific® 'Perfect Storm'. For white flowers, check out 'Luna White''. If you're looking to add red blooms to the garden, try 'Cherry Brandy'.

Wonderful plant, slow to come alive in spring but they grow fast once started.

I have three and they are absolutely stunning. Your right, they sleep for a long time and then start waking up.

Japanese beetles love them too. 😔 I’m currently dealing with sawfly hibiscus on 2 of the three.

Thanks for tips on how to manage and care for hybiscus plants.... I reside in a cold province and would like to know if my hybiscus will survive our harsh winter if left outside. Thank you ☺️

New subscriber. Your hibiscus are so beautiful. I love hibiscus. Do you prune the tropical ones back the same way? Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾

I put a few hybrid hibiscus—Holy Grail in the ground two days ago. I am Texas heat so I was wondering if I should must them around one o’clock in the afternoon. Sometimes I wait until 2 in the afternoon. The temperature has only gotten to upper 80’s and maybe 90 degrees a few times, it feels so much hotter, because of the high humidity. Please tell me if misting these plants is helpful or harmful.

How tall and wide will the perfect storm be mature?

Do they need fertilizer when they start coming out?

I have 3 that are 20 yrs old they are very large. Planning on moving at some point and want to take them with me. Can I transplant? Can I dig up and put into a large pot? Will they survive? Do I need to get all the roots? How deep do the roots get? Thank You!

I grew some lunas from seed in a pot this spring. Shoud i put them in the ground now in sept in z4, or bring them inside in pots and plant them in ground next spring as 1yr olds?!

[Peterrdee]

I sprayed mine with insecticidal soap for roses and it caused the plants to burn and turn white and powdery? Any ideas on what they can tolerate with I don’t wanna lose blooms every year to leaf burn and pests

[simplekitchen]

Very Nice! I am planning to plant this year. Are they pests and disease resistant?

[robertjohnson]

I got a hibiscus TREE by airlayering a long branch from my friend 8 years ago, now she is 12+ feet high. She is vulnerable to aphids, but it's hard to spray to kill them because of the height. Do you have any variety with stronger diseases resistance recommend so that I can graft? I live in 9b, California.
