Latin Name: Hibiscus SUMMERIFIC® var. 'Evening Rose'

Description: This plant creates contrast unlike any other! 'Evening Rose' perennial hibiscus sports fantastic, massive hot pink electric blooms that can grow up to 8" long. They pop against the deep, dark-purple (almost black), deeply cut, palmate foliage. The blooms are heavily puckered and frilled, with a central style covered in creamy ivory stamens and a bright pink terminal stigma at the tip. Standing proud at 4 feet tall and wide, this specimen makes for an excellent statement piece in sunny garden beds. Please note that this plant dies completely back in the winter, and is one of the last to emerge in the summer, oftentimes only becoming noticeable again in mid June. A fast grower, this beauty flowers prolifically from mid summer to the first frost. Remove spent blooms to encourage a larger number of flowers.
