Description
Hibiscus ‘Red Heart’ – #2 Pot
Bring elegant summer colour to your garden with Hibiscus ‘Red Heart’, a stunning Rose of Sharon that produces large, crisp white flowers accented by a striking deep red centre. Blooming continuously from midsummer into early fall, this hardy deciduous shrub adds months of vibrant colour when many other flowering shrubs have finished for the season. Its upright, vase-shaped habit makes it an excellent choice for specimen plantings, flowering hedges, privacy screens, or mixed borders.
Hibiscus ‘Red Heart’ is easy to grow and well suited to gardens throughout Vancouver, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland. The abundant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a beautiful addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes. Once established, this hardy shrub tolerates heat, humidity, and short periods of drought while requiring very little maintenance. Whether planted on its own or as part of a flowering hedge, ‘Red Heart’ provides reliable summer beauty year after year.
