Description / Hibiscus Summerific® 'Cherry Coco Latte' Rose Mallow
Hibiscus 'Cherry Coco Latte' Rose Mallow is a member of the Summerific® Collection from Proven Winners®. This striking herbaceous perennial plant blooms from mid to late summer, showcasing an array of tropical-looking flowers. Set against a backdrop of bronze-tinted, deep-olive-green leaves, the 8- to 9-inch ruffled blooms are a vision in white, laced with deep pink veins and a captivating deep-red center. These nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
As a Hibiscus hybrid, also known as rose mallow, the 'Cherry Coco Latte' boasts a compact, upright structure with well-branched stems. Slow to emerge in spring, it compensates with rapid growth, making it an excellent choice for both container gardening and landscape design. Whether planted as a standalone specimen, or part of a border or group planting, it adds a tropical touch to any garden setting. It thrives around ponds and streams, making it an ideal choice for bog and rain gardens.
Despite its tropical appearance, the rose mallow is a cold hardy plant, that thrives in sunny to partially sunny spots with fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil, but it can tolerate poor and acidic soils. To maintain its lush appearance, ensure it is well-watered. In spring, trim back any remaining stems before new growth appears. To protect it during winter, add a layer of heavy mulch. Hibiscus 'Cherry Coco Latte' is deer resistant.
As a native North American plant, rose mallow is not only visually stunning but also environmentally friendly. Naturally adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, it thrives without the need for fertilizers or extra watering. It also acts as a natural pest control, reducing the need for pesticides. Landscaping with native plants promotes biodiversity and provides quality food and shelter for wildlife and pollinators, giving your garden a vibrant ecosystem.
