Buy Summerific® Cookies and Cream Hardy Hibiscus online. A night and day combination of matte purple-black foliage and pure white flowers! Summerific® Cookies and Cream Hardy Hibiscus emerges in late spring already showing its dark foliage making it the perfect backdrop to early season perennials. Like other dark-leafed hardy hibiscus, full sun is necessary to bring out the deepest foliage color. Beginning in mid-summer, slightly cupped, bright white flowers will appear. Each bloom is absent the typical red eye of hardy hibiscus, appearing solid white. The back of each petal has a slight pink blush near the tip. Compared with older varieties, 'Cookies and Cream' is exceptionally compact and sturdy. Despite the smaller habit size, this selection does not lack for flowers. Blooms will appear the length of the stem, for top to bottom flower coverage, causing it to bloom both earlier and longer than traditional varieties. Note: Hardy hibiscus will die back to the ground every winter and emerge from the ground in late spring.
