Rose Mallow 'Lilac Crush', Hardy Hibiscus 'Lilac Crush', Summerific Collection
Hibiscus ‘Lilac Crush’ (Rose Mallow) is an upright, columnar, herbaceous perennial with extremely large lilac flowers, up to 7-8 in. across (17-20 cm), with overlapping petals. The eye-catching blossoms open from abundant flower buds which cover the plant all the way up the stems, making it flower for much longer than most Hibiscus. Blooming continuously from mid to late summer, each flower lasts about one day and stands out against the foliage of beautiful, maple-shaped, rich green leaves. Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens, this hardy hibiscus is a perfect backdrop or centerpiece for a sunny border. Great for containers too.
