This pink hibiscus, which replaced a red one that didn't take, is an absolute marvel and has produced magnificent flowers. I hope it will hold up well over time, so I'm thinking of ordering another one in a different colour in the spring. Sincere regards.

Description
Hibiscus moscheutos 'Pink' is a stunning variety of marsh hibiscus that produces large and vibrant pink flowers for a significant portion of the summer. The plant also boasts beautiful, decorative green, lobed foliage even outside of the flowering season. This magnificent perennial hibiscus prefers waterlogged soil and is an excellent choice for planting near water features or in large, very moist containers on the terrace.
Hibiscus moscheutos, also known as Hibiscus palustris, is a plant with a woody rootstock that belongs to the Malvaceae family. It is similar to mallow and hollyhocks and grows in the marshes of the southern United States, where it can grow as tall as 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches). In our climate, it produces upright stems and forms a bush in late spring. Horticulturists love this plant and have developed many cultivars with larger flowers and increased floribundity.
One of the most beautiful cultivars is the 'Rose' variety. It grows into a bushy clump and can reach a height of 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) and a spread of 1.2 metres (3 feet 11 inches) in a single season. The large, single flowers are satin-textured and have a bright colour that can measure up to 25 cm (9.8 in) in diameter. The colour is fresh and vibrant, combining the elegance of pure pink with slightly crinkled petals. The large leaves, sometimes toothed in this selection, are divided into pointed lobes and have a light green colour. They add ornamental value throughout the growing season.
The Marsh Hibiscus is a distinctive plant with large flowers that can be challenging to incorporate into a natural outdoor setting. Some people love it, while others find integrating it into their garden challenging. It can be a great addition to a contemporary or an exotic garden, especially one with a water feature or a terrace. The Marsh Hibiscus can withstand temperatures as low as -10/-12°C (14/10.4°F) but may not do well in cooler climates. It is ideal for saturated beds or the edge of a pond. It looks great when accompanied by other plants like Gunnera, Cannas, Ethiopian Arum, Rodgersia Chocolate Wings, or Colocasia Esculenta.

Planting and care
The Hibiscus genus includes perennials that disappear above ground in winter. These marsh plants can be planted alongside Hardy Hibiscus or cold-hardy banana plants in warm and moist soil. While hardy down to -15°C (5 °F) in our garden, they require winter protection in colder climates. Protecting the stump from excessive winter moisture helps the plant withstand the cold better.
To create a bed, dig a hole 40 cm (15.7 in) in all directions, line it with waterproof film and fill it with a mixture of good garden soil and fertiliser. Keep the soil moist during the shooting and flowering period. In October, when the leaves turn yellow, keep the soil moist and trim the stems to 5 cm (2 in) above the ground in late autumn. Growth restarts late in the spring, 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.
