A must-have for hot-border gardeners, Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel' is a Swamp Rose-Mallow hybrid that sports leathery, deep purple foliage all season long. Spectacular 8–9″ single carmine-red blossoms open from near-black buds and continue blooming down the stems. Flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, and the plants are deer resistant, too. PP 24,079
Hibiscus is a huge genus of more than 200 species, practically all native to tropical areas. If you're the type who goes for minuscule flowers, then this is not a genus for you. The plants produce big bright flowers that appear endlessly starting in high summer. Give them moist, well-drained soil and plenty of heat and sun. Stems will die down to the ground over winter in colder climates.
