Luna™ Red Hibiscus

Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Red'

Luna Red Hibiscus is a dwarf woody perennial with upright hardy stems and large lance-like foliage with hairy undersides.  The huge burgundy red flowers with creamy stamen bloom repeatedly on the upper leaf axils throughout summer until frost attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils.  

Hibiscus moscheutos acts as a host for 28 species of butterflies and moths, as well as supports the specialized bee Ptilothrix bombiformis.  Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure. 

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.
