Hibiscus Inner Glow: Looking for a showstopper to close out your summer garden? Hibiscus Inner Glow is here to deliver! With rich rose pink petals and a lavender purple halo at the center, these oversized flowers are anything but typical for a hardy hibiscus. The dissected, olive-green leaves add even more texture, making this perennial an absolute must for your garden.

Perfect for adding tropical vibes to your garden, this North American native thrives in full sun and bursts into bloom in mid to late summer, sticking around through early fall. Tis vigorous grower may be a little late to emerge in spring, but don’t worry—it makes up for lost time by adding an inch of new growth every day once it gets going!

Hibiscus Inner Glow is an excellent border plant, rain garden option, or focal point in any landscape. Its massive blooms not only attract butterflies and bees but also resist deer, making it a resilient choice for your garden beds. To keep your plant looking its best, plant before the heat of summer hits and mulch heavily during the first winter.

As always, grown without harmful pesticides, making it safe for your garden and the environment. Expect Inner Glow to arrive strong, and ready to dazzle your landscape!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temperatures are above 45°F.

Soil Preparation:

  • - Prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it's adaptable to average and fertile soils. Mulch heavily for its first winter to help it settle in.

Watering Specifics:

  • - Keep soil consistently moist, especially during its first growing season and hot summer days. More water means bigger blooms!

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to give it a jump start on its rapid growth. No heavy feeding necessary!

Pruning and Training:

  • - Cut back remaining stems in early spring before new growth appears—this perennial can get woody, so bring strong loppers or a saw!

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Keep an eye out for Japanese beetles, which find these plants delicious. Stay on top of pests to keep those vibrant blooms pristine!

Light Requirements:

  • - Loves full sun (6+ hours) but can handle part shade—full sun means bigger, better flowers!
