Rose Mallow 'Ballet Slippers', Hardy Hibiscus 'Ballet Slippers', Summerific Collection
Noted for its abundant flower buds and long blooming season, Hibiscus ‘Ballet Slippers’ (Rose Mallow) is an upright, well-branched, herbaceous perennial with large, white flowers, up to 7 in. across (17 cm), adorned with a brilliant red eye. The delicately ruffled, overlapping petals are edged with blush pink. The wonderful blossoms open from abundant flower buds which cover the plant all the way up the stems, making it bloom for much longer than most Hibiscus. Blooming continuously from midsummer to fall, each flower lasts about one day and stands out against the bright green leaves with slightly serrated edges. Perfect backdrop or centerpiece for a sunny border. Great for containers too.
