Starry Starry Night Hibiscus is a woody perennial with upright hardy stems and near-black maple-like foliage. Huge, soft pink flowers with a darker pink flush and dark red center bloom repeatedly in summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Starry Starry Night blooms throughout the plant rather than just at the tops like older cultivars.
