Hibiscus ‘Frosted Lipstick’ (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis hybrid)

Hibiscus ‘Frosted Lipstick’ (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis hybrid)

This beautiful bi-color tropical hibiscus has significant color pattern variations on the same plant. Since we have been growing ‘Frosted Lipstick’ we have seen large, 6” red flowers with white splashes throughout the petals and a burgundy heart. If grown in full sun outdoors, the flowers tend to have a much larger percentage of white within the red petals. In low light conditions during the wintertime, the flowers have been pink with white splashes on the petals and a burgundy heart. With its multitude of flower colors, ‘Frosted Lipstick’ will surprise and delight the gardener.

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.
