Hibiscus 'Mocha Moon' PP27837
Common Name: Rose Mallow
With the combination of dark foliage and white flowers, you can’t go wrong with this new Walters Gardens, Inc. Hibiscus introduction. Huge 7-8”, slightly cupped pure white flowers have a scarlet red eye that bleeds a little way onto the slightly ruffled, overlapping petals. Flowers are produced from the top to the bottom of the plant, rather than only at the top like some older cultivars. The bright lime green carpels that hold the flowers contrast nicely with the deep bronze-green foliage. The thick, leathery, maple-like leaves form an upright and full clump that makes a fantastic specimen plant for sunny landscapes.
These North American native plants bring massive, tropical-looking flowers all the way to zone 4. Although later to emerge than most perennials in spring, these are fast growing plants capable of adding an inch of new growth a day. Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens.
