Hibiscus First Editions Bali Potted Plant

Hibiscus Bali offers the lush, exotic appearance of a tropical hibiscus but with the rugged reliability of a hardy shrub. Starting in July, this variety erupts in a profusion of 3–4 inch semi-double flowers. Each pristine white petal radiates from a bold, "strawberry-red" eye, creating a stunning visual pop against the dark, leathery green leaves. Growing in a tidy, upright fashion to about 5–8 feet, Bali™ is perfect for creating a summer-blooming privacy screen, a colorful foundation planting, or a mid-border focal point. Because it blooms on new wood and is highly deer-resistant, it remains a low-maintenance favorite for gardens across many climates.

• Flowers: Large, semi-double white blooms with a vibrant red center; heavy summer bloom set.

• Growth: Upright, multi-stemmed habit; matures to 5–8' tall and 4–7' wide.

• Light: Best in full sun (6+ hours) for maximum flower production and disease resistance.

• Water: Average water needs; prefers consistent moisture but is quite drought-tolerant once established.

• Soil: Adapts to most soil types; thrives in moist, well-drained organic soil.

• Hardiness: Very reliable; USDA Zones 5–9.

• Landscape Use: Excellent for privacy hedges, mixed borders, or as a standalone specimen.

• Pro Tip: Hibiscus syriacus blooms on "new wood." Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage a heavy flush of flowers for the coming season. This variety is also "self-cleaning," meaning it produces very little to no seed, so you won't have unwanted seedlings popping up in your garden!
