Giant Pink Tropical Blooms in All Climates
Make a statement in your summer garden with the ‘Starry Starry Night’ Hibiscus, a standout variety known for its dark foliage and enormous pink blooms. Each flower boasts ruffled petals and a deep red center that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
This hardy perennial thrives in heat and sun, bursting into bloom in mid to late summer just when the garden needs a lift. The nearly black leaves provide rich contrast all season long, creating a bold, tropical effect even in cooler climates.
Despite its exotic look, ‘Starry Starry Night’ is surprisingly easy to grow. Once it's planted in well-drained soil in a full-sun location it will reward you with reliable color year after year. In colder zones, stems will die back in winter and reemerge in spring with vigorous new growth.
Perfect for the middle or back of sunny borders, near patios, or as a focal point in mixed beds, this hibiscus brings late-season drama and pollinator activity to any garden. Grow your 'Starry Starry Night' Hibiscus today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the plant so the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill, firm the soil, and water deeply.
2. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry spells. Water at the base to avoid splashing the leaves, which helps prevent disease.
3. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer to support strong growth and vibrant blooms.
4. Pruning: Stems die back in colder climates, so cut them to the ground in late fall or early spring. New growth will emerge each spring. Remove spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy.
