(Rose Mallow) Big, bold, and unforgettable, Hibiscus Airbrush Effect delivers a tropical look that turns any garden into a showstopper. This hardy perennial hibiscus features massive 8-inch blooms that look as though they’ve been painted by hand—each petal blending soft pink, coral, and white tones with a deep magenta center that glows in the sun. The unique “airbrushed” color pattern makes every flower a piece of art, blooming continuously from mid to late summer when many gardens need a fresh burst of color.
Growing about 3–4 feet tall and 4-4 1/2 wide, this compact, bushy variety is perfect for borders, garden beds, and large containers. The lush green foliage creates the perfect backdrop for its stunning flowers. Like other hardy hibiscus, it dies back to the ground in winter and reemerges each spring with strong, vigorous growth.
Hardy in USDA Zones 4–9, Airbrush Effect thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, and it performs best with consistent watering during the growing season. It’s deer resistant, heat tolerant, and an excellent pollinator magnet, drawing in hummingbirds and butterflies with every bloom.
For gardeners who want tropical-style color, easy care, and show-stopping summer blooms, Hibiscus Airbrush Effect is a must-have perennial. Something to note… Hardy Hibiscus are late to emerge in the garden so be patient if other flowers are blooming and you see not signs of your hibiscus. Once it emerges it grows quickly and is ready to put on a show of color mid summer.
