Detailed Information
The Hardy Hibiscus, specifically Hibiscus moscheutos and its cultivars like ‘Summerific™ Starry Starry Night’, is **native to North America**.
While it’s a cultivated variety, its lineage traces back to wild Hibiscus moscheutos found primarily in the **eastern and central United States and southern Canada**. It is typically found in wetlands, marshes, and along riverbanks.
So, even though ‘Summerific™ Starry Starry Night’ is a hybrid, its genetic roots are firmly in North American soil. It’s bred to be more ornamental and have specific characteristics like darker foliage and flower color, but it retains the hardiness and adaptability of its wild relatives.
Suitable in 3 gallon or larger
