Rose Mallow 'Midnight Marvel', Hardy Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel'
Noted for its dark foliage and long blooming season, Hibiscus ‘Midnight Marvel’ (Rose Mallow) is a compact, well-branched, herbaceous perennial with extremely large, deep scarlet red flowers, up to 9 in. across (22 cm). The eye-catching blossoms open from abundant, glossy, black-red flower buds which cover the plant, 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 thick and leathery, deep wine purple foliage of maple-like leaves. Perfect backdrop or centerpiece for a sunny border.
