Its huge 7- to 8-inch white flowers have a bright red eye that radiates along the veins, and the petals are edged in pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant spreads 4½ to 5 feet wide and blooms from late summer into early fall. It still makes a strong centerpiece in a sunny garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low, wide mound about 36 inches tall and 54 to 60 inches across of dark-toned leaves. Flowers are 7 to 8 inches across, white with light pink petal edges and a bright red eye whose color streaks out along the veins. Blooms are held over the top and sides of the mound. At peak the dark plant is dotted with large white-and-pink flowers with red centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow it in a sunny spot with steady moisture, such as a rain garden or the back of a watered border, rather than in lean lavender soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun to bring out the darkest leaf color. It grows in poor to fertile soil but needs consistent moisture; hardy in zones 4-9.

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":67776283869480,"sku":"GLLF-PER-9E219869-BR","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0736\/9768\/files\/perfect-storm-hardy-hibiscus.jpg?v=1790864970","url":"https:\/\/greatlakeslavenderfarm.com\/products\/perfect-storm-hardy-hibiscus-bare-root-plant","provider":"Great Lakes Lavender Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
