Introducing Summerific® 'Holy Grail' – a true garden treasure that combines stunning beauty with striking contrasts. This incredible plant boasts deep, near-black foliage with oval-shaped leaves that exude elegance and drama. The rich, deep red flowers, reaching an impressive 8-9" across, perfectly complement the dark leaves, creating a captivating visual harmony. As a bonus, once the blooms fade, the bright green calyxes stand out against the dark foliage, adding even more dimension and interest to your garden. A North American native, 'Holy Grail' brings massive, tropical-looking flowers to gardens as far north as zone 4. Though it emerges a little later in spring than other perennials, its fast-growing nature ensures it quickly establishes itself, with up to an inch of new growth a day. Perfect for areas with consistent moisture, use this striking hibiscus as a focal point to build your garden around and enjoy its beauty well into 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. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.
