MoonShadow™ Morello Hardy Hibiscus makes a bold statement with massive cherry-red blooms set against rich mocha to purple-black foliage. Flowering from summer into fall, its oversized blooms create striking contrast and attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. This well-branched perennial forms a sturdy, rounded habit with strong stems that support the flowers without staking. The dark foliage provides season-long interest, while improved resistance to common hibiscus pests helps keep plants looking their best. Ideal for perennial borders, water gardens, containers, or as a dramatic focal point in the landscape.
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hibiscus moscheutos 'Morello'
MoonShadow™ Morello Hardy Hibiscus thrives in full sun and consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering and spring fertilization promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Deadheading is not necessary, but removing old stems helps maintain a neat appearance. Cut plants back to the ground after frost, and allow extra time for new growth to emerge in late spring, as hardy hibiscus is naturally slow to break dormancy.
