Benefits

Red Hibiscus is a beautiful and versatile flower valued for its appearance and many uses. Whether you are a gardener or herbalist or appreciate its beauty, they will surely delight and impress.

It is a bright red flower native to Hawaii and considered a tropical hibiscus. When translated from Latin, the name means "rose of China." The hibiscus is a flowering plant that originated in East Asia. This particular variation of hibiscus was named in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus.

Even though it is commonly referred to as a rose, the two are considered to be closely related. Unlike other hibiscus plants, the shrub's red color is created by changing two sets of chromosomes.

Unfortunately, this chromosome change makes the physical characteristics of its offspring unpredictable, but the mystery keeps people coming back for more. When properly cared for, they grow more like bushes than any other plant and can easily be trimmed to look like small trees.

The plant can grow between 8 and 16 feet tall. The flowers typically grow as individual blooms and appear as solitary bursts of bright red over green glossy leaves. They usually occur in early summer and last until mid-autumn.

Each bloom has a series of anthers protruding from the center, which provide the perfect accent to the bright red color. The shrub leaves are ovate in shape and dark green in color with a high-gloss shine. The intense color contrast makes the plant visually appealing to a broad audience.

The root system is a tap root branch system. The stem is an attractive, green branch system. The shrub draws in nectarivore birds. Hummingbirds in North America frequent areas that are rich in hibiscus plants. It also attracts many endangered species of butterflies.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
