Product description
Hibiscus Eruption is a hardy, deciduous shrub with large, glossy, lobed leaves which remain dark green in colour with showy purple variegation throughout the season. Like its name suggests, it will produce an abundance of attractive large, semi-double, hot pink flowers with red eyes and white anthers at the end of the stems from mid-summer all the way to early Autumn. A fine stand-alone specimen or reliable addition to a border, it will also make a great informal hedge or screen. Very low maintenance and once established it requires little if any regular pruning.
Plant this vibrant variety in a wind sheltered location where it will get full or partial sun. It grows best in neutral to slightly acidic soils and water well at the time of planting.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Hibiscus thrives in warm temperatures, so ensure it gets enough sunlight and protection from frost.
How to Water
Water Hibiscus regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply to encourage root growth, especially during dry periods. Avoid wetting the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.
How to Plant
Plant Hibiscus in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and backfill with soil. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
