(Tropical Hibiscus) As long as there is sun and heat, Tropical Hibiscus ‘Beautiful Desire’ is putting on a show. ‘Beautiful Desire’ features large, ruffled 5-6 inch tropical blooms with shades of hot pink that fades to plum. Tropical HIbiscus colors can be affected by temperatures, colors are often not as bright in cooler weather. ‘Beautiful Desire’ can grow around 3 feet tall or taller in the deep South. Plant in full sun to part shade locations that are well watered in well-drained soil. If leaf yellowing occurs, this generally means it is staying too wet. Tropical Hibiscus is a long-blooming plant as long as the temperature is hot, the flowers keep coming. In the North, we recommend planting your plant in a container as it will act like an annual. You can bring it in the house for the winter and bring it back outside once the heat returns. For our Southern friends, this is a great plant for borders, hedges, or in containers for poolside enjoyment. Enjoy the beautiful blooms that Tropical Hibiscus ‘Beautiful Desire’ brings to your patio.
