 Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well
drained soil.  Pick off spent blooms to
encourage more blooms.  Cut back old stems in
Spring.  Slow to emerge  in the Spring, but more
than make up for it with their vigorous growth
rate.
Plant Size
 
 
 
   
Hibiscus 'Fireball' has huge, dinner plate size, (up to 12" across) deep red,
over lapping pedal flowers with a darker red eye.  Blooms mid to late
summer.  The foliage of all our hardy hibiscus are deeply cut and somewhat
glossy.  'Fireball's  foliage is flushed with bronze-purple making it even more
spectacular.
Asexual propagation of this plant is prohibited.
