Texas Star Hibiscus

Hibiscus coccineus is a resilient and upright perennial plant that can reach heights of 3 to 6 feet. With its sturdy, woody stems and lovely deep green leaves, measuring 5 to 6 inches wide. From mid-summer to early fall, it blooms, each 3 to 5 inches in diameter.

To grow this, it appreciates medium to wet soil in full sun or light shade. Keeping it in full sun or slight shade is ideal, as too much shade can lead to legginess and fewer flowers. While this plant can handle the summer heat and humidity, it’s important to keep the soil moist throughout the growing season to help it flourish!
