Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' A wonderfully distinctive variety of this old-fashioned favourite, featuring single, trumpet-shaped, pure-white flowers, with rich ruby-red centres from late summer. It has green foliage which remains all throughout the season. Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' is an upright, multi-stemmed, spreading shrub, and although reasonably high maintenance, its average texture blends into the landscape well and is most attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, meanwhile proving resistant to deer who seem to leave it alone. Culinary note: The flowers can be infused to make a mildly citrus flavoured tea. The petals can be cut and added to fruit salads too. For more details about edible flowers click here. How to Grow Grow Hibiscus on rich fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, in full sun. When growing hibiscus plants in patio containers use a soil-based compost, such as John Innes No.3. Feed and water hibiscus regularly until fully established. Apply a dry mulch such as bark chips to the base if the plant in autumn to protect from winter cold. Prune hibiscus in late spring, removing any stems that have died back or been damaged over winter. Hibiscus are often one of the last shrubs in the garden to break bud, so be patient with plants that are slow to start into growth in spring - they may remain dormant until May!
