Description

(Rose Mallow) One of the most vibrant hardy hibiscus on the market is Summerific® ‘Candy Crush’! Featuring bright bubblegum pink blooms that stretch up to 8 inches across with a dark burgundy black eye. The large overlap and heavily ruffled petals create a striking flower form. Standing 4-4.5 inches tall and wide, Summerific® ‘Candy Crush’ forms a large mound that blooms mid to late summer. Planted in full sun to part shade locations, hardy hibiscus require average to moist soil and can be grown in poor to fertile soil conditions. Rose Mallow is a native perennial that is deer resistant. If you are looking for a specimen plant for your garden, Summerific® ‘Candy Crush’ Hibiscus is a beautiful selection. Please note that Hardy Hibiscus is one of the last plants to emerge in the spring. Here in Michigan it is often the beginning of June before we see them. Once they emerge, they are quick to grow and will be flowering by mid to late summer. Summerific® ‘Candy Crush’ is a Proven Winners® Perennial.

hibiscus

I am aware I purchased a quart plant , but I did think that it would have some branching. I also understand that a hibiscus gets started later in the season. I didn't expect to receive a small sprig for $17. I watch the Garden Crossing YouTube channel and I was very excited about my order but disappointed when I unboxed my plants. A little more information about what to expect in the description would have been helpful. How much growth can I expect on this plant this year?

Thank you for reaching out. Your order was our first ship week of the season(Mar 30). Hibiscus are just starting to break dormancy as they are a late sprouting plant. Once they get planted and in the heat, they will rapidly put on growth. Later ship weeks will have more growth on them as it warms up in the greenhouse.

I bought and planted this hibiscus last year.

I was reluctant to order online but I'm so glad I did. My plant arrived about 4w ago. It was extremely well packaged and very healthy. I planted it right away and now its almost 3 feet tall and still growing rapidly!
