Summerific Ballet Slippers Hardy Hibiscus 1 Live Plant, 2 Gallon – Hibiscus hybrid ‘Ballet Slippers’

Summerific® Ballet Slippers Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus hybrid ‘Ballet Slippers’) is a showy herbaceous perennial admired for its exceptionally large, ruffled flowers and upright, shrub-like growth habit. This Proven Winners® selection produces striking 7-inch-wide blossoms with white petals delicately edged in blush pink and accented by a deep red eye. The contrasting colors create a distinctive floral display against the plant's bright green foliage.

Blooming from midsummer into early fall, Summerific® Ballet Slippers develops an upright, well-branched clump with abundant flowers. Its lush foliage and oversized blossoms make it an attractive choice for perennial borders, cottage gardens, mixed flower beds, and ornamental specimen plantings. Unlike tropical hibiscus, this hardy perennial dies back to the ground during winter dormancy and produces new shoots from its established root system when warm weather returns. It performs best in full sun and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil.

Each order includes 1 live Summerific® Ballet Slippers Hardy Hibiscus plant supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. Seasonal appearance varies, and plants may arrive with reduced foliage, recently pruned stems, or dormant growth depending on weather and shipping conditions.
