Description

(Rose Mallow) One of the most ruffled-looking Hardy Hibiscus I have ever seen, we are excited to introduce Rose Mallow 'Watermelon Ruffles'! The large 7-inch, bright pink blooms are so ruffled that it gives the blooms an almost double-petaled look. With the end of each flower petal so puckered, it makes the flowers appear noticed. Standing 4 ½ feet tall and wide, the dark green foliage mound is a perfect backdrop for the beautiful flowers. These indeterminate bloomers, set buds up and down the stems resulting in more flowers for a longer bloom time. Hardy in zones 4-9, Hibiscus 'Watermelon Ruffles' is a native perennial that is deer resistant. Planted in full sun to part sun locations, Rose Mallow prefers to be planted in moderate to moist soil locations. One of the latest perennials to emerge in the spring, Hardy Hibiscus is quick to grow and is ready to flower around the beginning of August. Enjoy the extra large tropical-looking blooms until Fall.

Watermelon Ruffles is the most recognized Hibiscus to me when walking through the gardens. The huge pink heavily ruffled blooms are a real stand out in the garden.

My Watermelon Ruffles hibiscus is doing well. Im looking forward to next year and its growth and hopefully blooming. I didnt expect much for this year, but wanting a good root system to survive the winter.
