Serve up a scoop of late-summer luxury with Summerific® Coconut Cream Hardy Hibiscus, a Walters Gardens selection that brings the richest creamy-yellow flowers yet developed in this breeding line. Its massive tropical-style blooms—soft buttercream with subtle depth—stand out against darker bronze-greenfoliage, creating a luminous contrast that anchors the back or middle of sunny borders. Upright, globe-shaped, and generously flowered, it brings drama without overwhelming the garden.
Earlier to bloom than its cousin Summerific® French Vanilla Hardy Hibiscus, this variety sets the stage for a long, showy performance. Though hibiscus emerges late in spring, Summerific® Coconut Cream Hardy Hibiscus quickly makes up for lost time, growing at astonishing speed—sometimes an inch a day in early summer. The result is a fast-filling, high-impact perennial that reliably steals the show from midsummer straight into fall.
As part of the Summerific® Collection, this hardy Rose Mallow brings massive "tropical" color from a plant tough enough for gardens rated in Zone 4. Expect big flowers, bold structure, and a reliably perennial root system that returns stronger each year. Whether planted as a focal point, a seasonal screen, or a burst of warm color among darker-leaved companions, Summerific® Coconut Cream Hardy Hibiscus adds irresistible end-of-season glow.

SUMMERIFIC® COCONUT CREAM HARDY HIBISCUS Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Thrives in rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil.
- Prefers loam but adapts to clay with improved drainage.
- Mulch to maintain even moisture during hot summer periods.
- Sun Exposure:
- Requires full sun (6+ hours daily) for best bloom count and strongest color.
- Tolerates light shade but may produce fewer flowers.
- Ideal for bright borders, open beds, and south-facing sites.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Needs consistent moisture, especially in summer.
- Water deeply during dry spells to support large blooms.
- Avoid soggy conditions—good drainage prevents root decline.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring once growth appears.
- Benefits from organic matter, compost, or manure mixed into planting areas.
- Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers that reduce flowering.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Emerges late—do not disturb soil early in spring.
