Fantasia Hibiscus is a compact rounded woody perennial with upright hardy stems and lobed maple-like foliage with hairy undersides.  The huge rosy pink flowers with a darker pink center eye and pale yellow stamen bloom repeatedly on the upper leaf axils throughout summer into fall attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:   Low maintenance.  Few problems if watered regularly and deeply with plenty of air circulation. Potential issues include canker, rust, leaf spot, and occasional insects.  Japanese beetles can cause severe leaf damage if left unchecked. Leaf scorch will happen if soils dry out

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, Ponds and Streams, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Butterfly Bush, Black-eyed Susan, Sneezeweed
