The Red Hibiscus is a tropical flowering shrub celebrated for its bold, trumpet-shaped blooms and vibrant, glossy green foliage. Its large red flowers create a striking visual impact, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators to the garden. Known for its exotic flair, the red hibiscus adds instant color and drama to landscapes, borders, and patios, whether grown in the ground or in containers. It's a popular choice for tropical-style gardens and makes an excellent specimen plant.
This sun-loving plant thrives in warm, humid climates and blooms prolifically from spring through fall, especially with regular watering and fertilizing. In USDA zones 9–11, it can be grown as a perennial, while in cooler regions, it is typically treated as an annual or overwintered indoors. With proper care—full sun, well-drained soil, and protection from frost—the red hibiscus rewards gardeners with nearly continuous blooms and lush growth. Its eye-catching color and lush appearance make it a garden favorite for adding both beauty and tropical charm.
