Hibiscus Painted Lady

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Painted Lady'

hibiscus painted lady

Also known as: Chinese Hibiscus, Tropical Hibiscus, China Rose

Native to tropical Asia, Hibiscus Painted Lady is a true beauty in the hibiscus family. Its large, ruffled petals open in a vivid hot pink that deepens into a dramatic dark burgundy center, with delicate veining running through every petal like brushstrokes — a look that truly earns its name. While each bloom lasts just a day, the plant produces new flowers continuously throughout the warm season, keeping the color show going non-stop. A favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds, it brings bold tropical glamour to any sunny outdoor space.

plant tips

water
Hibiscus don't like to dry out and prefer an evenly moist root ball. Water regularly during the growing season and reduce slightly in cooler months.
light
Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade — the more sun it gets, the better, with more shade leading to fewer and smaller blooms.
zone
9 and above.
size
Grows 4 to 10 ft. tall and 5 to 8 ft. wide in the landscape, staying more compact in containers.

care

In zones 8 and below, plant hibiscus in a container. The container should have good drainage. Bring them inside the home for the colder months of the year. When overwintering your Hibiscus, make sure it is in a bright, sunny location and water as needed. Plant in organically rich, well-draining soil in a sunny spot protected from strong winds. Cut back by about half in early spring to maintain a nice shape and encourage new growth. Fertilize every two weeks during spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer, or use a slow-release formula following label instructions.
