Description / Hibiscus Summerific® 'Perfect Storm' Rose Mallow
Between its over-sized tropical looking flowers and unique purple hued foliage there isn't an inch on this compact Proven Winners® hibiscus that isn't thrilling. 'Perfect Storm' takes the dark foliage of 'Summer Storm' and shrinks it down to a much for manageable size that is more suitable for garden life. Its truly gargantuan flowers reach up to 8 inches across and feature a delightful pinwheel pattern reminiscent of a giant lollipop from a county fair. Its petals are mostly white which splashes of pink of the edges and a deep crimson throat for added drama. Hummingbirds are common visitors to these flowers, but they are thankfully ignored by deer. This charming rose mallow is a breeze to maintain and needs very little upkeep. This sun-loving native perennial needs heavy mulching before its first winter to help it get through that trying season. Watch out for Japanese beetles who love this plant almost as much as you will.

Perfect Storm 0 people found this helpfulGot it and yes it was spectacular then the summer came along with some fungus that nobody could help with including the people at wayside. We sprayed the plant to no avail, moved it from the sun as this Texas sun and heat is brutal. That had no effect but while it was alive it was gorgeous.

Fantastic 0 people found this helpfulOne of my neighbors planted a hibiscus a few years ago and I fell in love with the big pink flowers. I searched for a similar one with the burgundy leaves and big pink blooms and chose this one. I planted it this spring and it has already grown to be huge. I was a little sad that it started to bloom just as I was leaving town for 2 weeks, but it’s still going. I counted at least 20 buds on it today. So many things bloom in the spring. It’s nice to have something that blooms in the summer and keeps going.
