Description
We offer you a Marsh Hibiscus collection, composed of three excellent varieties of Hibiscus moscheutos, to add an exotic and tropical touch to your garden or terrace. These hibiscus are robust perennial plants with luxuriant foliage, ranging from dark green to purple, forming a beautiful backdrop for the plate-sized flowers. They will bloom from July to September, offering a rich palette of colours throughout the summer. These marsh mallows thrive in full sun and require rich and moist soil to thrive.
The collection consists of:
1 Hibiscus moscheutos 'Cherry Cheesecake': A variety with large white flowers streaked with pink, with a dark pink centre, reaching 20 cm in diameter. Dark green foliage. The plant reaches a height of 1 m to 1.50 m.
1 Hibiscus moscheutos 'Red Wine': Dark red, almost burgundy flowers, beautifully contrasting with the dark purple almost black foliage. This variety reaches a height of 1.20 m to 1.40 m.
1 Hibiscus moscheutos 'Planet Griotte': A more compact variety with bright cherry red flowers measuring 20-25 cm in diameter. The plant reaches a height of 80 cm to 1 m and blooms early for weeks between early July and late September. Dark green foliage.
Plant these marsh mallows in spring in rich soil, in full sun. The soil should remain moist, even waterlogged, throughout the growing and flowering period (April to October). In winter, the soil should be drier, allowing the crown of these hibiscus to withstand brief frosts of around -15°C. You can also grow them in a large pot kept constantly moist.
To create a harmonious border, place the tallest varieties at the back and the most compact one ('Planet Griotte') at the front. Maintain a spacing of 80 cm between each plant. Plan for about 3 plants per m² for a dense and luxuriant effect.
At the edge of a pond, combine these marsh mallows with tall Astilbes adorned with feathery and colourful flowers in summer. Ligularias, with their large leaves and bright yellow flowers, bring height to the scene. In front of the hibiscus, plant blue-leaved Hostas as well as Water Irises for the elegance of their foliage and flowers.

Planting and care
Marsh hibiscus are very hardy (to -15°C in not too damp soil), however, they require winter protection in colder climates. These plants need sunlight to flower well. The soil in which they are planted should be rich and never dry out between April and October.
To create a mass planting: dig a hole 40 cm in all directions, lined with a waterproof film and filled with a mixture of good garden soil and compost. Maintain a constant marshy moisture level during the growth and flowering period. Once the leaves turn yellow in October, simply keep the soil slightly moist. Prune the stems to 5 cm above the ground in late autumn. Growth starts again late in spring, in April-May depending on the climate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
