Part of the Summerific® series, this hardy perennial hibiscus delivers the tropical look gardeners love while returning from the roots in cold-winter climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach flower can reach dinner-plate size, creating a showy display from midsummer into fall. The soft lavender-pink petals and deep red center give Berry Awesome a rich, high-impact look that stands out in sunny borders, foundation beds, patio gardens, and mixed perennial plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDark Foliage That Makes the Flowers Pop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerry Awesome Hardy Hibiscus is not just about flowers. The deep midnight-green foliage creates a strong backdrop that makes the lavender-pink blooms look even brighter. The dense, shrub-like habit also gives the plant a fuller look than older hardy hibiscus varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination of dark foliage and oversized flowers makes Berry Awesome useful as a specimen perennial, a sunny foundation accent, or a focal point in a summer border. It gives homeowners the look of a flowering shrub with the seasonal rhythm of a hardy perennial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLong Blooming Color from Summer into Fall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerry Awesome blooms when many spring and early-summer perennials are starting to fade. Its late-season flower power helps keep the garden colorful through the hottest part of the year and into early fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are produced across the plant rather than only at the top, helping create a fuller bloom display. Plant it where the large flowers can be seen and enjoyed up close, such as near patios, walkways, entry beds, or outdoor seating areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePollinator Friendly, Deer Resistant, and Moisture Loving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerry Awesome Hardy Hibiscus attracts bees and hummingbirds, adding pollinator value to its bold ornamental display. It is also generally considered deer-resistant, making it a useful choice in sunny landscapes where deer browsing can be a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many hardy hibiscus, Berry Awesome appreciates consistent moisture and performs well in average to wet soils. It is a good choice for sunny garden beds, rain garden edges, low spots with good airflow, and moisture-retentive soils where many drought-loving perennials would struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHardy Hibiscus Care Made Simple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Berry Awesome Hardy Hibiscus in full sun for the best flowering, strongest habit, and healthiest foliage. It prefers moist, organically rich soil but can adapt to average garden soil as long as it does not dry out for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis perennial dies back to the ground in winter and is one of the last perennials to emerge in spring, so patience is important. Cut old stems back in spring when new growth begins, water consistently during dry periods, and give the plant room to grow into its full rounded shape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44490753835050,"sku":"29778","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/berry-awesome-hardy-hibiscus-1245808485.webp?v=1782245660","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/berry-awesome-hardy-hibiscus","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
