Description
Summerific® Spinderella hardy hibiscus is a showstopper for late-summer gardens. Its large, approximately 8-inch white flowers have pink-accented petal edges and a deep red eye, creating a distinctive pinwheel pattern. Dark green leaves form a dense, rounded plant that works beautifully as a sunny border centerpiece.
In Alabama, grow Spinderella in full sun and rich soil that stays consistently moist while draining adequately. Water deeply during dry periods and use mulch to limit moisture loss in summer heat. Like other hardy hibiscus, it dies back after frost and may be slow to emerge in spring, so leave the crown undisturbed until warm weather brings new growth. Remove old stems during dormancy. This cold-hardy perennial is commonly listed for USDA Zone 4 and warmer. Summerific® is a trademark of Walters Gardens, Inc.
