In spring, hardy hibiscus are slow to wake up\u2014often later than other perennials\u2014so patience is key. Once they emerge, they grow rapidly, forming upright clumps that can reach 3\u20136 feet tall depending on the variety. Their foliage ranges from bright green to deep burgundy, adding interest even before the blooms appear.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Hardy hibiscus are excellent choices for pollinator\u2011friendly gardens, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. They work beautifully in landscape beds, along fences, or as statement plants near patios.
