Do you love Hibiscus? This one is exceptional!

🌺🩸 Do you love Hibiscus? This one is exceptional!

  • ❗️Looking for a show-stopper in your garden? Hibiscus El Capitolio Bloody Mary delivers with its rare, dramatic pendant flowers.

  • ❗️Picture a double layer of ruffled, vinous-red petals hanging gracefully, adding vibrant color to sunny or semi-shady spots - even seaside gardens!

  • ❗️This evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub can reach 5 to 10 feet tall with lovely arching branches, making it a true standout.

  • ❗️Thriving in USDA Zones 9-11, it's tough enough to handle moderate water, flooding, and needs well-draining soil.

  • ❗️Its crimson blooms peak in summer, bringing year-round beauty to any garden!

  • ❗️This is a large Hibiscus plant; however, it can be grown in container with some pruning.
