Hibiscus, Luna White

Luna White Hardy Hibiscus makes an unforgettable statement in the summer garden with enormous, saucer-like white blooms that can span ten inches or more across—each one a stunning, tropical-feeling display on a plant that is thoroughly winter-hardy in our climate. The pure white flowers open in succession from midsummer through fall, with fresh blooms replacing spent ones to maintain a continuous show for weeks on end. Growing three to five feet tall and wide, it earns a spot as a strong focal accent in the sunny border or near a water feature where its bold form and generous bloom make maximum impact. Butterflies and hummingbirds visit regularly throughout the season, adding movement and wildlife value to whatever space it anchors. Despite its exotic appearance, it is a remarkably undemanding perennial—give it full sun, adequate moisture, and well-drained soil, and it handles the rest on its own. The only patience required is in spring, when it emerges quite late; mark its location and resist the urge to dig it up before it wakes.
