Hibiscus 'Summer Storm' is one of the next generation of colored-leaf hibiscus hybrids from the breeders at Walters Gardens. Building on the work of the late Fleming Brothers, Hibiscus 'Summer Storm' produces 7' tall stalks, clothed with deeply-lobed, dark purple leaves and is adorned from July until September with both axillary and terminally produced, 10" wide, medium pink flowers, highlighted with a dark red center and bloodshot-eye-like red veins...a hummingbird favorite. Moist soils are ideal, but these are amazingly drought-tolerant in the short term.
