Holy Grail Hibiscus is a vigorous woody perennial with a mounding habit and hardy upright stems and lobed near-black foliage with hairy undersides. The huge, textured dark red flowers bloom throughout summer into fall attracting butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils. The Summerific series blooms all long the stems instead of just at the stem ends like most older hibiscus varieties.
