Paradise Hibiscus Plants
Paradise Hibiscus are flowering perennials that are best known for their stunning ombre blooms that can grow up to 8 inches across. The huge flowers of this tropical Hibiscus have ruffled, overlapping petals and an airbrush color effect. Paradise Hibiscus is a compact perennial plant that does well in containers on sunny patios, porches, or decks. It flowers over a longer period of time than other Hibiscus cultivars so you can enjoy the blooms all summer long.
The ruffled petals fade to a different color along their edge and if you buy your Paradise Hibiscus online, the color of the bloom will be a surprise! We have varieties that are red in the center, fading into light pink and yellow but also flowers that have a periwinkle and orange fade; both are equally beautiful!
An especially compact variety, this forms a medium-sized bushy mound of dark green leaves. Huge saucer-shaped flowers appear in mid-summer and continue until frost. Plants prefer evenly moist soil and sunny conditions. Stems die back completely to the ground in winter, but new growth is slow to appear in spring, so be patient! Old stems can be pruned to the ground in mid-spring. A thick mulch for the first winter is recommended, especially in Zones 4 and 5.
