I have seven Holy Grail down by my driveway, and I have lost track of how many people have stopped to ask what they are and tell me how stunning the flowers are. I know this already, of course, and I got gorgeous flowers the first year. The deep red contrasting with the dark foliage is just the perfect contrast. They also do not need to be deadheaded, which is always a bonus. The spent blooms drop on their own, and the dark foliage is pretty in July before they blooms come in. Foliage is a nice contrast to other greenery in the garden. It’s a real show stopper.

I have 17 hardy hibiscus. Can’t wait for next year to buy more. They are show stoppers. I have up to 30 deer on my property at any time They chew on my many rose of Sharon but have not touched my hibiscus. I’m in a 7a zone

I ordered some online from a pretty popular company who wanted to send them to me in late late fall as a bare root dormant plant. And I told them I didn’t think that would work. They said it would be fine. But they did not make it. I’ve ordered all the rest of mine through proven winners. They ship them in the summer in a quart size container. They’re small but they have all thrived. They told me not to cut them back till the spring. They’ve all survived my winters and are beautiful and I love them.

So it seems like rose tone would be a good slow release fertilizer for them since it’s a 4-3-2.

Great information, thank you. When is the best time to move or transplant. It has outgrown the space, it is currently 4ft tall and 4ft wide. Thank you.

Fall is a great time to transplant your plant. Be sure to keep the plant moist in its new location to help with root set.

What is the best time of year to plant a potted, flowering hardy hibiscus in the ground? I just purchased two in full bloom (I specifically was looking for plants that would be blooming in August/September). It's mid-September now. Should I wait until they are done blooming before I put them in the ground?

Plant 6 Weeks before the Ground Freezes. Once frost hits perennials start to go dormant, transferring energy into their roots for the following year. Giving your freshly planted perennials a period to get established in their new home will increase overwintering success. Learn more at ngb.org/fallperennialplanting

Can I grow these in the tropics in Puerto Rico

No, they need to go dormant in the winter and are usually hardy to zone 9. You are lucky and get to enjoy the tropical hibiscus all year long!

I have a Starry Starry Night that is weighted down by the heavy branches. What would you recommend to keep it upright and bushy? TY

You can cut back the long branches to increase branching and promote more blooms.

Hardy Hibiscus can be naturally found growing in wetlands and along riverbanks therefore they perform best with consistent watering. ngb.org/year-of-the-hardy-hibiscus/
