Description
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Ruth Wilcox' is a stunning evergreen shrub that produces vibrant pink blooms with a bold red centre. This eye-catching variety adds a touch of tropical beauty to any garden setting, making it ideal for garden beds, sunny borders, or large pots. The flowers bloom profusely, creating a spectacular display during the warmer months.
This hardy hibiscus thrives in full sun and prefers light, well-drained soil. It requires regular watering during Perth's dry seasons, but less in cooler months. For best results, apply a balanced fertiliser during the growing season to encourage lush foliage and abundant flowers. Light pruning in late winter helps maintain its shape and promotes vigorous new growth.
