Hibiscus x moscheutos
‘Carafe Bordeaux’
www.whatsnative.com
North American Native Cultivar
Hibiscus
(hi-bis-cus)
From Greek for
mallow.
moscheutos
(mos-kew-tas)
meaning muskscented.
Zones: 5 – 9
Flower Color: Red
Height: 3’
Spacing: 24”
Carafe Series ‘Bordeaux’ has red, softened with an infusion of pink, 9-10” flowers in mid summer through
fall. The Carafe Series boasts more flowers, a denser, fuller habit and average 3’ in height.
About the Species:
Common Name: Hardy Hibiscus, Marsh Mallow
Family: Malvaceae
Hibiscus moscheutos can be considered a sub-shrub. The woody stems will grow 3 to 6 feet high depending
on the cultivar. Mother’s Day is a good time to start looking for sprouts as Hardy hibiscus is late to emerge in
the spring. The large, up to 8 inches across, flowers run the gambit from pure white, with eye zones, to solid
dark, dark red depending on the cultivar. The straight species flowers are either white or pink. Each flower
only lasts one day. Flowering will start in mid-summer and last through fall. Remove spent flowers for
appearance as flower petals will turn slimy when left on the pla nt. Some reseeding will occur, although most
will not breed true from the seed. The thick stalks should be cut down after a heavy frost after the leaves have
turned black.
Habitat: Hardy Hibiscus can be found in moist areas,
brackish marshes, swamps, and along lakeshores.
In the Garden: Hardy Hibiscus will like to be in a warm
and sunny location with moisture retentive, rich soil with
plenty of organic matter. Well-drained soil and a
protective cover of mulch are beneficial. Hardy Hibiscus
can be grown in containers and moved around on the
patio or garden. Winter proof pots can be left outside
with minimal protection during the winter months.
Butterflies and hummingbirds visit Hardy Hibiscus on a
regular basis. Japanese beetles can be a concern.
