Get ready for fireworks in the garden with Summerific® Glitter Bomb Hardy Hibiscus, a showstopper that turns late summer borders into a celebration. Its enormous up to 7-inch blooms are splashed with a rare peppermint-striped pattern—soft blush streaks radiating from a bold, cherry-red eye. Every flower looks hand-painted, delivering jaw-dropping color that feels equal parts whimsical and dramatic.
The floral spectacle is supported by a dense, gumdrop-shaped mound of dark olive-green foliage that fills space beautifully in the middle to back of the border. Though hardy hibiscus are infamously late to wake up in spring, Summerific® Glitter Bomb Hardy Hibiscus makes up for it with explosive growth once temperatures rise—often adding an inch of new growth per day. By midsummer, it's a lush, leafy presence ready to unleash its unforgettable blooms.
Rated to be cold-hardy to Zone 4 and native to North America, this Rose Mallow offers a tropical look without tropical fuss. Each winter, the plant dies back completely, only to return bigger and bolder the following season. Perfect for gardeners craving statement plants and end-of-season drama, Summerific® Glitter Bomb Hardy Hibiscus delivers massive color, reliable performance, and pure garden joy when it matters most.
