Name: Hibiscus Cranberry Crush. Description: Near-black buds open to glossy, deep scarlet red, 7- to 8-inch wide flowers with heavily overlapping petals. These dramatic blossoms cover the plant from midsummer to early fall. They are set against a perfect backdrop of glossy deep green, leathery, maple-like leaves with slight purple overtones. Habit: Short, full compact habit. Grows 3-4 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. Landscape use: Border plants or in containers. Attributes: Since it is an indeterminate bloomer, the flowers are produced at the nodes all up the flowering stems rather than just at the top like some other cultivars. Attracts hummingbirds. Hardiness: Zones 4-9. For more: www.waltersgardens.com. |
