Hardy Hibiscus ‘Blackberry Merlot’ PP (Hibiscus moscheutos hybrid)

Large 8” deep red flowers arrive in profusion during the mid-summer to fall blooming season and create a spectacular show for the gardener to enjoy. ‘Blackberry Merlot’ makes a sensational flowering shrub for your lawn or garden since it has a nice, rounded growth habit and usually reaches 4-5’ tall. Hardy Hibiscus emerge later than many perennials in the spring, but they grow quickly and become a focal point in any garden attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Grow in full sun and deadhead spent flowers to keep the plant looking its best. This plant is a real winner! Special note about Hibiscus flowers: Logee’s is proud to offer many unusual and vibrantly colored Hibiscus varieties. Flower color can vary depending on cultural issues like full or partial sun, if it’s a first or second day flower (colors sometimes change on the second day or become more muted), or even if the plant is young or mature. Please be aware that these color changes are normal. Available in a 4" pot.
