Hibiscus ‘Imperial Dragon’ is a showpiece in the garden because of its bold floral colors. The heart of the flower is vibrant purple. The petals are a rich salmon-orange and they have light orange, frilly petal edges. Plus, the blooms are huge – usually measuring 7-8” across. Grow in full sun with plenty of water and fertilizer to maximize its blooming potential. Order early. Supplies are limited on this new hibiscus.
Special note about Hibiscus flowers: Logee’s is proud to offer many unusual and vibrantly colored Hibiscus varieties. Flower color can vary depending on cultural issues like full or partial sun, if it’s a first or second day flower (colors sometimes change on the second day or become more muted), or even if the plant is young or mature. Please be aware that these color changes are normal.

Tips for Success:
• Sun, sun and more sun.
• They are warm-growing plants and suffer if subjected to
cool temperatures over extended periods. As a rule, keep
temperatures above 65°F, especially in the winter.
• Water on visual soil dryness or plant wilt. Severe wilt can hurt
them. Careful watering is critical during the winter or anytime
when the light level is low and temperatures are cool.
• Under high light and warm temperatures they are
heavy feeders and need a balanced fertilizer applied
on a regular basis. A fertilizer like Dyna Gro “Grow” 7-9-5 will
help induce blooms.
• Flowering varies widely between varieties. Full sun, warm
temperatures, a balanced fertilizer and careful attention to
watering will produce the best results for your hibiscus.
