Hibiscus 'Little Prince'
This offer is for a trimmed & dormant plant - do not keep indoors, this plant should be planted in the garden upon arrival. Plant will not re-emerge until late spring regardless of where you live because, in addition to warm temperatures, it requires long days of sunshine to break dormancy. Kindly note: if you are new to hardy hibiscus please know that the little bit of stem we leave on our dormant hibiscus turns brown and dries out in winter, you can remove it or leave it. We leave a little stem on our dormant plants so that you can see where you plant them. Hardy hibiscus are usually the last plants to emerge in late spring, the stem reminds you of where you planted it. All new growth on hardy hibiscus in spring comes from the root zone, different from tropical hibiscus that grow from the stem. Hardy hibiscus die completely to the ground in winter.
