Landscape Notes: Midnight Marvel Hibiscus is a relatively compact plant with very deep wine purple, dissected maple-like foliage that is thick and leathery. The Black-red buds open to 8-9 inch, deep scarlet red flowers.
Exposure/Culture: Midnight Marvel Hibiscus prefers full sun areas in the landscape. It thrives in moist, well drained soils with very little maintenance.
Other Notes: Midnight Marvel Hibiscus will produce a WOW factor in containers or in your landscape. When new shoots in spring reach 10 inches in length, they should be pinched in half. This will increase branching, but cannot be done after the 4th of July.
