🌿 Hollywood Hibiscus
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
The ultimate South Florida tropical hibiscus experience, Hollywood Hibiscus is a premium series of large-flowered tropical hibiscus varieties selected for extraordinary bloom size, spectacular color, and outstanding garden performance in warm climates. Each plant delivers an impressive parade of dinner-plate-sized blooms in rich, vivid, saturated colors — hot pink, deep red, brilliant orange, sunny yellow, lavender, and stunning bicolors — nearly year-round in Miami's warm tropical climate.
🌿 Perennial in South Florida
🌍 Native Origin: Tropical Asia, Pacific Islands
☀️ Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; produces the most abundant large spectacular blooms and the most vigorous upright growth with 4 or more hours of direct sunlight daily — also adapts well to spots with morning sun and afternoon shade, where the large vivid blooms are often protected from the most intense midday heat.
💧 Water: Moderate and consistent water needs; Hollywood Hibiscus performs best with regular, deep watering and appreciates consistent soil moisture — water deeply when the top inch of soil dries out and mulch the root zone to retain moisture; consistent irrigation during Miami's dry winter season supports the most prolific and continuous large bloom production throughout the year.
📏 Size: Grows 4–8 feet tall with a vigorous, upright, well-branched shrub habit; responds very well to regular light pruning to encourage fresh branching, maintain a desired size and shape for hedges or specimens, and stimulate the next prolific flush of the large, spectacular Hollywood blooms nearly year-round in South Florida.
🌸 Bloom Time: Blooms nearly year-round in Miami's warm climate with a continuous parade of large, glamorous blooms — each individual flower is spectacular and lasts one day before being replaced by a fresh new bloom the next morning; the Hollywood series is selected for exceptional re-blooming frequency and extraordinary bloom size in South Florida's tropical conditions.
🌱 Landscape Use: Outstanding as a bold landscape specimen, flowering privacy hedge, dramatic patio or lanai accent, or statement container plant; the Hollywood Hibiscus series offers an exceptional range of vivid colors that pair beautifully with bold tropical companions, lush green foliage plants, and vibrant South Florida landscape designs of every style.
💡 Casaplanta Tip: Plant in Coast of Maine Bar Harbor Blend for rich, well-draining soil that supports the vigorous growth and prolific blooming Hollywood Hibiscus demands, and feed every 4–6 weeks with Espoma Flower Tone to keep the nonstop parade of large, spectacular, glamorous blooms coming nearly year-round in your South Florida landscape.
