I have cutting......This vigorous bush has leaves that are a redish-purple color in full sun, making a striking specimen plant or border plant! In the shade, the leaves are a deep green with redish-purple veins. When not in bloom, passersby often think they are Japanese Maple. To top it off, the flowers are a beautiful light pink with dark pink veins and are shaped like little cups and go all the way up each stem of the plant, blooming each fall with a profusion of color!
These hibiscus will easily reach a height of 10’ in one season and bloom the first year they are planted. You may keep them trimmed back into a hedge or let them grow tall. I suggest trimming them at least a couple of times during they growing season to make them bush out more so you will have more blooms.
These are a perennial in zones 9-11; a self-sowing annual in other zones. Prefer full sun and sandy soil (but will grow in the shade) – EXCELLENT plant in drought conditions – will grow anywhere with very little care!
These will be the highlight of your garden and are a definite traffic stopper in the fall with the pink flowers covering the purple bushes top to bottom!
