Summerific® 'Glitter Bomb' Rose Mallow (Hibiscus hybrid) | Proven Winners® New Variety 2027

Make a loud, sensational statement in your late-summer garden with a truly rare color pattern! Summerific® 'Glitter Bomb' Rose Mallow is a spectacular Hardy Hibiscus selection celebrated for its distinctive 7-inch, peppermint-patterned blooms. Each flower features swirling flecks and streaks of deep magenta-pink across pale pink petals, centered by a bold, dark red eye. Framed by a dense, rounded gumdrop mound of dark olive-green foliage, its tidy yet robust habit makes it exceptional for filling space along the back of sunny perennial borders or serving as a garden backdrop. Like other native hardy hibiscus, it thrives in warm heat and wet conditions, bringing vibrant tropical charm down to zone 4.

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.
