The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Morello’
Choose Morello Hardy Hibiscus if you want a late-summer red focal plant with huge flowers. The tradeoff: it dies back fully each winter and starts slow in spring, so it is not a four-season structure plant.
Buy This If
- You want large red summer flowers.
- You can give it steady moisture.
- You like a plant that returns from roots.
Skip This If
- You need winter screening.
- Your soil dries out fast.
- Deer feed heavily near the house.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The flower size and deep red color make it a strong seasonal focal point when many perennials are past peak. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in quickly once warm weather settles in, but it is late to emerge in spring. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on cutting it back after frost and keeping moisture consistent during dry spells. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It works in a generous bed, but the flowers and seasonal size can overwhelm narrow walkways or tight foundation pockets. |
| Screening Value | D | It is herbaceous and disappears in winter, so it should not be counted on for privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny beds where the customer wants a summer focal plant, not a backbone shrub. Give it room, mulch the root zone, and do not panic when it emerges late.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it come back every year?
Yes, it is a hardy perennial and returns from the roots after winter.
Why is it not growing early in spring?
Hardy hibiscus wakes up late, so wait for warmer soil before judging it.
Can it handle wet soil?
It handles average to moist soil well, but it should not sit in stagnant water.
