ℹ Contrast is key on this gorgeous, light-hued hibiscus. The Summerific® Ballet Slippers features lush, glossy green, maplelike foliage that creates an intriguing backdrop for the lovely, rounded, white blooms edged in a playful shade of light pink. These amazing, 7 inch hibiscus flowers also feature deep red eyes that add another touch of color to the pale palette. The overall picture is quite striking! It's ideal for adding style and grace to back borders and focal point plantings. Ballet Slippers boasts an extended bloom period, giving gardeners and garden pros plenty of showy flowers to enjoy from midsummer to fall. Butterflies and hummingbirds love it! Low maintenance, perennial hibiscus ('Hibiscus Moscheutos') gets cut back within a couple inches from the ground before each winter and although a later plant to break dormancy in Spring it quickly grows to its full height again each season from its roots.
