Hibiscus Watermelon Ruffles

Hibiscus Watermelon Ruffles

Hibiscus Watermelon Ruffles is a vibrant tropical hibiscus known for its stunning ruffled blooms that showcase a rich watermelon-pink hue with subtle red accents at the center. Flowering from mid-summer through fall, each large, frilly flower opens to create a bold, eye-catching display that draws attention in gardens, patios, or containers. Its continuous blooming habit on new growth ensures a long season of color, making it a showstopper in any sunny landscape.

The plant develops an upright, bushy form, reaching approximately 4 ft in height and spread, creating a full, lush silhouette that is perfect for borders, specimen planting, or container displays. Its glossy green foliage complements the vivid blooms, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The blooms are not only beautiful but also attract hummingbirds and pollinators, adding life and movement to your outdoor space.

Ideal for tropical-themed gardens or mixed perennial borders, Hibiscus Watermelon Ruffles pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, brightly colored annuals, or foliage plants with contrasting textures. Its large, vibrant flowers make it a perfect choice for adding dramatic flair, while the sturdy stems and bushy habit provide structure and depth to your garden design.
