This native, hardy Hibiscus has impressive 9" billowy, ruffled, overlapping petals in a lavender mauve color with a deep bright red eye center. The foliage is a deep dark green, with maple like leaves. The full upright, mounding habit of 'Berrylicious' SUMMERIFIC™ also makes it useful as a hedge or border. It is a very strong bloomer, there are many bud nodes so the shrub can be covered with flowers, giving it a long bloom season. to 5' x 5'.
