Similar to 'Candy Crush' and fellow newcomer 'Valentine's Crush', 'Lilac Crush' has an upright, columnar habit that is very sturdy and resists lodging. Maple-like leaves are a rich green. PP#35181.

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.

Hibiscus are tropical looking plants with huge dinner plate-sized flowers. Although they may appear tender these are hardy perennials that tolerate the cold as far north as Minnesota. Our selections are some of the very best varieties available. Our specially selected bushes are reproduced vegetatively so that the superior qualities can be maintained. These are not inferior seedlings. These starter shrubs are of blooming age. Hardy hibiscus grow very fast and thrive in fertile moist conditions. Keep the plant consistently moist and fertilize it and you will be amazed! If you want the best you have come to the right place!

Our plant photos are a representation of mature specimens. The plants we sell are not fully grown but they are well established and happily on their way to becoming all they can be. 

Our plants have been over-wintered here in the upper Midwest to ensure strength and hardiness and to encourage blooming the first year in your garden. Our plants are grown outdoors where Mother Nature helps us produce the best plants possible. Our potted plants can be planted at your convenience, just keep them outdoors and watered until you are ready to put them into the ground. Never grow this plant indoors. We include complete planting instructions with all orders. This plant is ready for your garden!
