Description

Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel' is the latest advance in the changing world of hardy native hibiscus. Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel' has the darkest purple foliage that we've seen on a hardy hibiscus. Combine this amazing foliage with 8" wide fire engine red flowers from June through September and you've got what is affectionately named a "wow" plant. Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel' makes a 5'+ tall specimen that prefers moist soils.
