Product Description

4-5 in., dark pink flowers with dark red eyes
Lustrous dark green foliage
Compact growth habit
Attracts pollinators
Deer tend to avoid

This easy-care, reliable hibiscus is sure to light up the perennial garden—or create a colorful hedge or privacy screen. Blooming from midsummer to frost, its large, 4-5 in., dark pink flowers have prominent dark red eyes that really stand out against the dark green, heavily textured foliage. Bees and butterflies love them. Unlike other hibiscus, Aphrodite's foliage shows none of the yellowing in midsummer. Growing 6-8 ft. tall with a similar spread, Aphrodite Hibiscus has a compact growth habit and is drought tolerant, once established. For best results, plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Tolerates a wide range of soils. Deer tend to avoid. Zones 5-8.
