Watermelon Ruffles Hardy Hibiscus Live Plant – 2.5-Inch Pot – Hibiscus

Watermelon Ruffles is a hardy perennial hibiscus selected for its large, tropical-looking flowers and vigorous growth. This outdoor flowering shrub has a bushy, clumping habit and performs best in sunny garden locations.

The plant is shipped as a well-rooted live plant in a 2.5-inch pot. It is a vegetatively propagated selection rather than a seed-grown plant, helping preserve its named characteristics. This hardy hibiscus can enter dormancy during the colder months and resume growth as temperatures rise.
