Hibiscus coccineus

This herbaceous perennial rockets out of the ground in spring and grows upright stems to 3-6’ tall in 2-3’ wide clumps with deeply palmate leaves. June to Sept deep red large flowers, 3-5” across, five petaled with prominent stamens, draws hummers and butterflies like magnets! This big girl enjoys constant moisture (will live in a bog or pondside) and full sun for best flowers!
