Hibiscus 'Lilac Crush' (Summerific collection)

Common name: Rose mallow 'Lilac Crush'

With its huge 8" lavender blooms and striking red eye,this hibiscus is a mid-summer showstopper that will last for weeks.

Encourage even more blooms by pinching the shoots in early summer, and enjoy the added bonus of attracting butterflies and hummingbirds while keeping deer at bay.
