Hardy Hibiscus, often called the "Dinner Plate Hibiscus," is a stunning perennial known for its enormous, show-stopping blooms that can reach up to 12 inches in diameter—about the size of a dinner plate. Thriving in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, this cold-hardy plant adds a tropical flair to temperate gardens from mid to late summer. Its large, papery flowers come in vibrant shades of red, pink, white, or bicolor, attracting pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. Despite its exotic appearance, the Hardy Hibiscus is surprisingly resilient, dying back in winter and returning robustly each spring.
