Know before you buy
Yes, this is a frost-tender evergreen. If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you should plant it in a container so it can be moved to a protected, frost-free location during the winter months.
The Fullmoon Hibiscus thrives in full sun, which means it needs at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Providing adequate light is essential for maintaining its lush foliage and encouraging a profusion of blooms throughout the summer.
Absolutely. With a mature height of six feet and a width of four feet, it works well as a hedge or screen. Its dense, glossy, dark-green foliage provides excellent coverage, though you should space them appropriately to allow for their mature width.
Once established, this shrub prefers average to moist soil. You should monitor the soil moisture regularly, especially if it is planted in a container, as pots tend to dry out faster than garden beds.
Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, it is much less likely to be targeted by deer compared to other landscape shrubs.
