If ever there was a  blockbuster celebrity in tropical flowering shrubs, it is the newest ingénue, “Hollywood Hibiscus”™.  Dramatic and eye-catching, Hollywood Hibiscus gets rave reviews from this landscape designer for their exciting production design. Blooms last three days, making them the star of floral displays. Unlike traditional hibiscus, Hollywood Hibiscus™ are low-maintenance – they do not need frequent pruning. Growing only to four’ tall and up to five’ wide, these floral stars are an excellent choice for container gardens, small patios, or as hedges underneath windows, Definitely thrillers for your landscape!

My favorites for the lining the awards runway carpet is the bright orange “Disco Diva,”  white “Earth Angel,” multicolored “Bloom Bash,” bold yellow “Rico Suave, dazzling gold ”VIP,” and luscious pink “America’s Sweetheart.”

Blooming nearly all year round, Hollywood Hibiscus has a great cast of beauties in tropical colors  of red, orange, peach, coral, yellow, and pure white to light up any Hollywood night.

Get your very own Hollywood Hibiscus at garden centers and box stores. They are also available from online plant retailers and specialized plant nurseries such ss J. Berry Nursery and Proven WInners.
