Its 8- to 9-inch flowers are white with vivid deep pink veins running through the petals and a large red eye, giving them a rich, dimensional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark olive green leaves carry bronze highlights and form a compact clump about 4 feet tall and wide. Later in the season, flowers cover the whole plant. It has earned trial recognition in several regions and is a strong choice for a moist, sunny bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compact clump about 48 inches tall and wide with dark olive green leaves showing bronze highlights. Flowers are 8 to 9 inches across, three-dimensional with cupped, overlapping petals, white with intense deep pink veining that radiates out from a large red eye. By late season blooms cover the entire plant. At peak the dark-leaved bush is dotted with large white-and-pink veined saucers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt likes full sun but needs far more moisture than lavender, so plant it in a regularly watered border or rain garden rather than in the lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun for the most flowers; part shade is tolerated. It grows in poor to fertile soil but needs consistent moisture and should never dry out for long; hardy in zones 4-9. It is slow to wake up in spring, so mark the spot, and cut the old stems to the ground in late fall or early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hibiscus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White with deep pink veining and a large red eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark olive green with bronze highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 ft tall × 4 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25). Bare-root plants ship or are picked up March 1–May 31 only. They are soil-free, so they may ship to every state in that window. Dormant plants often show little or no top growth on arrival; plant or heel them in promptly. Hardy hibiscus arrives fully dormant and is one of the last perennials to wake up: expect no new growth until late May or June. That is normal, so plant it, water lightly and be patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emerges late; dormant crowns look lifeless in spring until growth starts in late May or June.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Great Lakes Lavender Farm","offers":[{"title":"Bare Root Plant","offer_id":67776224952616,"sku":"GLLF-PER-DEB0BA22-BR","price":22.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0736\/9768\/files\/cherry-choco-latte-hardy-hibiscus.jpg?v=1790864861","url":"https:\/\/greatlakeslavenderfarm.com\/products\/cherry-choco-latte-hardy-hibiscus-bare-root-plant","provider":"Great Lakes Lavender Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
