Hibiscus 'Spinderella'is a showoff in the late summer landscape with its vibrant pinwheel pattern. The large, white flowers have medium pink accented edges and a dark red eye. Dark green leaves form a tidy, dense, and well-rounded habit that will fit perfectly as the centerpiece of your garden. The impeccable habit is a great improvement over other varieties of this flower type.
These North American native plants are excellent at brightening up an end of season gardens.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well-drained soil. Keeping these plants watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage. Deadheading will improve the appearance of the plant. It is best to plant Hibiscus in the garden before the heat of the summer arrives, and should be heavily mulched the first winter. In spring, cut back any remaining stems before new growth appears. A strong pair of loppers or a saw will be necessary to cut this plant back. Hibiscus is always one of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Its vigorous growth rate more than makes up for this late start, however. Do not plant in areas with heavy Japanese beetle infestations.
