Luna™ Red Hibiscus

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.
