Hibiscus Marshmallow Moon

Hibiscus Marshmallow Moon

Hibiscus Marshmallow Moon is a hardy perennial hibiscus known for its large, creamy white flowers that span up to 8 inches across, lightly veined with pink and often accented by a pale blush near the center. These blooms sit atop contrasting deep green foliage that gives the plant a rich, layered appearance, adding both texture and tone to the landscape. A member of the Summerific® series, it’s bred for compact size, strong stems, and prolific flowering, blooming continuously from midsummer until frost.

Hibiscus Marshmallow Moon variety thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, particularly in sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and near water features. Despite its lush, tropical appearance, it’s impressively cold-hardy (Zones 4–9) and goes dormant in winter, re-emerging late in spring with vigorous growth. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, resists deer browsing, and makes a striking focal point in garden beds or containers.

Care Instructions:

Planting: Choose a location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil.

Watering: Water regularly until established. Once mature, it tolerates some drought but prefers consistent moisture during the growing season.

Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming and extend flowering. Cut back hard in late winter or early spring to promote vigorous new growth.

Soil Tips: Thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soils but adapts to a variety of soil types; avoid overly dry or heavy clay soils.
