Hibiscus Seeds grow into perennial or tropical shrubs with large, showy, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, or white. They thrive in warm, frost-free climates with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil. Hibiscus is ideal for garden beds, borders, hedges, and container planting, providing long-lasting blooms from late spring through fall and attracting pollinators.
