Hibiscus 'Starry Starry Night'

Prepare to be captivated by the stunning blossoms of 'Starry Starry Night'. This season, it's one of Wendy's top picks. Hurry, they'll be gone before you know it!

This stunning plant has the most amazing large flowers. The deep, cherry pink centres feather out beautifully into the cotton candy petals. The maple shaped; deep purple leaves are darkest when they are grown in full sun. It’s slow to start growing, reaaally slow, but so worth the wait! 

Huge 8 inch pink twirled flowers float like stars above the dark, foliage. The more sun it gets, the darker the leaves.

Hardy hybrid hibiscus is a vigorous, sturdy, erect but sometimes shrubby, woody-based perennial that typically grows to 4-8’ tall.  These hybrids are winter hardy to zone 4 which distinguishes them from the many tropical to semi-tropical hibiscus on the market today. Each of their beautiful disc-shaped flowers can measure 6-10” across. Individual flowers remain in bloom for only one day, but one or more flowers usually open each day, in succession, over a long mid-summer to early fall sometimes to first frost bloom period.

You do have to be patient because they come into leaf very late in the season – around June in some cases. But the very lateness of the hibiscus is its strong point – especially when it comes to the flowers. That being said, each plant can produce up to 250 flowers per growing season!
