Hibiscus (Rose Mallow)
×
Color Name: Cherry Choco Latte
Cherry Choco Latte is a long blooming Hardy Hibiscus with a smaller size that is more suitable for tighter spaces. Very large, 8 to 9" three-dimensional flowers are white with intense deep pink veining and a notably large red eye. Attractive dark olive green foliage has bronze highlights and forms a compact clump, with flowers covering the entire plant later in the season. Cherry Choco Latte, with its large flowers, pronounced veining on the petals, dark foliage, and compact habit, is sure to make a statement in your garden.
Growing Tips: Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well-drained soil. Keeping these plants watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage. Deadheading will improve the appearance of the plant. It is best to plant Hibiscus in the garden before the heat of the summer arrives, and should be heavily mulched the first winter. In spring, cut back any remaining stems before new growth appears. A strong pair of loppers or a saw will be necessary to cut this plant back. Be advised that Hibiscus is always one of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Its vigorous growth rate more than makes up for this late start, however. Japanese beetles find these plants especially delicious.
