Introducing Summerific® 'Edge of Night' – a showstopper that blends dramatic color with exceptional beauty. The 7-8" bubblegum pink flowers are a sight to behold, featuring overlapping petals and striking darker pink veining that creates a mesmerizing 3D effect. Its jet-black foliage is the darkest we’ve seen on a Hibiscus, offering an eye-catching contrast to the green calyxes and red veins and petioles. When planted in full sun, this hardy hibiscus truly comes to life, showcasing its vibrant colors and stunning performance. As a North American native, 'Edge of Night' brings massive, tropical-looking flowers all the way to zone 4. Though it emerges a bit later in spring, it grows quickly, adding up to an inch of new growth a day. This fast-growing beauty is perfect for adding a bold splash of color and interest to the end of season gardens, ensuring your landscape stays captivating through the fall.

Care: 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, but is not necessary for continued bloom. 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. Do not trim back in fall. A strong pair of loppers or a saw will be necessary to cut this plant back. Be advised that Hibiscus is always one of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Be patient, even if you think it is dead, it most likely isn't. Its vigorous growth rate more than makes up for this late start, however. Japanese beetles find these plants especially delicious.
