Summerific® 'Garnet Globes' Rose Mallow (Hibiscus)

(Rose Mallow) Summerific® 'Garnet Globes' Hibiscus is a stunning compact variety of Rose Mallow that makes a bold statement in any garden. Growing to about 3 to 3.5 feet tall and spreading approximately 3 feet wide, it features large, 7-inch-wide bright red flowers with a distinctive purple ring around the center and gently ruffled edges. The vibrant blooms contrast beautifully with its deep olive green, glossy foliage, creating a lush and colorful display throughout mid to late summer. Compared to its sibling Summerific® 'Valentine's Crush,' 'Garnet Globes' is more compact and sports richer, deeper red flowers. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–9, this hibiscus thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained soils with consistent moisture to support its vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Native to North America, Summerific® 'Garnet Globes' attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, enhancing your garden's wildlife value. Its foliage is deer resistant, although they may browse on the flower buds. Deadheading spent keeps a tidy look, while pruning in early spring removes old growth and makes way for fresh shoots. Keep in mind that hardy hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring but grow rapidly once started. Ideal as a striking specimen plant, Summerific® 'Garnet Globes' combines vibrant color, compact size, and easy maintenance, making it a standout choice for sunny garden beds. Part of the Proven Winners® Perennial collection, it delivers reliable performance and show-stopping blooms season after season.
