Description
Hibiscus Sunny Cities® 'Premiere Red' is a tender bush with intense, abundant and long-lasting red flowering. The result of rigorous selection, it combines elegance and vigour, while adapting well to warm climates. Its flowers open wide to enliven flowerbeds, terraces, and conservatories. This "Rose of China" offers renewed floral decoration for many months. Its bushy, well-structured habit makes it perfect for creating dense, colourful compositions.
The Hibiscus Sunny Cities® 'Premiere Red' belongs to the Malvaceae family. It is also known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Premiere Red® (SUNNY CITIES® series). This is a hybrid variety from the eponymous collection, developed in the Netherlands to meet the climatic demands of north-western and southern Europe. The 'Sunny Cities' varieties offer optimal performance in warm and Mediterranean climates. This tender bush, derived from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis species, is sensitive to cold, with a hardiness of around 1 to -1°C. It does not tolerate temperatures below 10°C, which causes it to lose its foliage and halt flowering. With an upright and vigorous habit, it reaches approximately 60 to 90 cm in height and width. The foliage is glossy, dark green. The leaves are single, alternate, and elongated, palmate and divided into 3 to 7 lobes. The bush retains its foliage in winter if sheltered indoors or in a greenhouse. The plant shows rapid growth as soon as temperatures are warm enough and produces multiple flower buds. These open into magnificent flat, 6 to 7 cm wide flowers with 5 free and regular petals. They bloom generously from mid to late summer.
Hibiscus Sunny Cities® Premiere Red thrives in full sun, in rich, fertile, and well-drained soil. This heat-loving plant performs particularly well in mild and Mediterranean climates, where it can express its full potential. It requires regular watering but dislikes excessive moisture around the roots. To support flowering, it is advisable to feed regularly and remove spent flowers to encourage new bud production. This hibiscus is ideal for pots on terraces or in gardens, where it draws attention with the intensity of its red flowers. You can pair it with intense blue annual sages like 'Victoria Blue', daylilies, or potted buddleias.

Planting and care
Plant Hibiscus 'Premiere Red' in spring, in a sunny position, in well-drained, deep, loose, fertile soil that remains moist. Water generously after planting. Outside the mildest Mediterranean regions, it should be grown in pots so it can be overwintered frost-free, like a citrus plant.
In the ground, this hibiscus can adapt to various growing conditions, tolerating slightly dry to more moist soils, but it is most beautiful and floriferous in well-drained soil that stays moist in summer, rich in organic matter and regularly watered. Similarly, it tolerates a pH ranging from very acidic to relatively alkaline.
However, what the hibiscus must have to thrive is warmth and sunshine.

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).
