Perennial Hibiscus Summerific Valentine's Crush

Perennial Hibiscus ‘Summerific Valentine’s Crush’ is a striking hardy hibiscus variety known for its enormous, vibrant red blooms and lush deep green foliage. Its oversized flowers can reach up to 8 inches across, creating dramatic tropical-style color from midsummer into early fall. The rich scarlet-red blooms stand out beautifully in sunny garden beds, borders, and landscape focal points while attracting hummingbirds and pollinators throughout the season.

Part of the Summerific series, ‘Valentine’s Crush’ combines bold flower color with strong garden performance and winter hardiness, making it an excellent choice for adding long-lasting late-season impact to northern landscapes. Its upright, full growth habit creates a dense, impressive display each year once established.

Maintenance Tip: Plant in full sun with rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first 1–2 weeks after planting to establish roots, then continue providing steady moisture during active growth and hot summer weather. Perennial hibiscus emerges late in spring, so allow time for new growth to appear before assuming the plant is dormant. Cut stems back in late fall or early spring before new growth begins, and mulch around the base to help retain moisture and protect roots.
