Key Features of Hibiscus Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte Rose Mallow Seeds

The standout feature of this hibiscus is its captivating two-tone flowers.

This hibiscus variety grows to an impressive height of 4-5 feet with a sturdy, upright growth habit. Its tall stems and broad, glossy leaves provide a bold structure in the garden, making it perfect for creating focal points or background planting in flower beds.
Extended Blooming Season
One of the major benefits of Hibiscus Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte is its long blooming period. It begins flowering in mid to late summer and continues to bloom into the fall, ensuring your garden remains vibrant even as the seasons change.
Drought-Tolerant
While hibiscus plants generally prefer moisture, the Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte is more drought-tolerant than many other varieties, once established. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners in areas with hotter, drier conditions who still want the beauty of large, colorful blooms.

How to Plant and Care for Hibiscus Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte Rose Mallow Seeds
Starting Seeds
Sow Hibiscus Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly cover the seeds with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and place the seeds in a warm location (70-75°F or 21-24°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors to their permanent spot. Hibiscus plants prefer full sun to part shade, so choose a location where they can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for their full growth.
Watering
Hibiscus plants prefer consistently moist soil, so water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season. However, ensure that the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Fertilizing
Feed your Hibiscus Summerific® Cherry Coco Latte with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season. This will help promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Be sure to follow the fertilizer manufacturer’s instructions to avoid overfeeding.
Pruning
Prune the plant back in early spring before new growth starts to promote healthy, vigorous growth. You can also deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season to encourage more blooms.
