Hardy Hibiscus Plants

The Hardy Hibiscus are not the fragile, tropical houseplants that will only grow in moist, very warm climates like Hawaii. The hardy varieties are fabulous Hibiscus Hybrids, a mid-sized Hibiscus shrub that are perennials in areas as far north as zone 4.


The Hardy Hibiscus (pronounced hy-BIS-cus) is also commonly known by numerous names, such as rose mallow, althea, rose of Sharon, giant mallow….hence the confusion over the tropical variety and the hardy variety and Hibiscus in general. These hardy shrubs produce brilliantly colored flowers with a tropical flare that are amazingly adaptable and surprisingly easy to grow. Just try one and you’ll be hooked!

Cranberry Crush Hardy Hibiscus Plant

Price $7.50

The 'Cranberry Crush' Hardy Hibiscus Plant produces red blooms without the blue undertones that many red Hibiscus have. In addition to deep scarlet flowers that spring from buds that are almost black, Cranberry Crush has a full, compact growing habit with more prolific blooming than some varieties. It is an indeterminate bloomer, which means that it bears flowers at nodes all along the flowering stems, not just at the top. The leathery, maple-ish leaves are glossy and deep green with slightly purple overtones and the 7-8-inch, heavily overlapping petals of the lustrous blooms are nothing short of incredible! 3" Pot Size.
