Oh, how we love this fabulous cut foliage filler, MAHOGANY SPLENDOR HIBISCUS! Grown for use as a cut flower foliage filler with burgundy, serrated leaves, that resemble a Japanese maple leaf. Hibiscus is heat tolerant, drought resistant, has a deep rich color, and strong branches that require no pinching. With its vigorous growth, you can cut, cut, and cut some more. Must be in full sun to achieve a deep color.

PLANT SIZE: #160 Plug
HARDINESS ZONES: Annual below Zone 7, Herbaceous perennial zone 8-9.
LIGHT: Full Sun
PLANT SPACING: 24”
PLANT HEIGHT: 36-60”
PLANT ATTRIBUTES:
Excellent for cut foliage.
No pinching is needed.
Drought tolerant
7+ day vase life
HARVEST: Be sure to harvest in the coolest part of the day, when leaves are mature and the branches are straight, firm, and slightly woody. Once mature, hibiscus has a long cutting season. In our trial, we found an average vase life of 10 days
