Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Pink Swirl,' commonly known as Hardy Hibiscus, is a stunning perennial prized for its large, showy blooms. The flowers are soft pink with darker pink swirls and a striking red eye at the center, reaching up to 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The plant forms a compact, bushy mound with lush, dark green, lance-shaped leaves, making it an eye-catching addition to garden beds and borders.
Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Pink Swirl' prefers moist, well-drained soils and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. It is heat- and humidity-tolerant and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while being resistant to deer. Cutting back stems in late fall or early spring encourages healthy growth and flowering. This perennial pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, sedums, or other summer-blooming perennials for a bold and dynamic garden display.
