ℹ️ You will fall in love with the large stunning flowers of Aphrodite Hibiscus! The bright pink tropical looking blooms and prominent dark red eyes of this heirloom hibiscus will put on an extraordinary show of flowers for 4 months from early summer to frost! The dark green foliage remains a lustrous back drop for these delightful blooms well into fall. This variety is noted for its compact growth habit, ease of culture and reliability throughout multiple climates. It'll take cold northern winters and searing summers in stride. Hibiscus syriacus, also known as Rose of Sharon, is handy if you love the look of tropical flowers, but need something more reliable in a cold climate. Rose of Sharon is woody, and these hard stems won't die back in the winter.
