With oversized white-and-pink blooms and deep red centers, this hibiscus is a true standout—and not only for its looks. This exclusive variety from Gardens Alive is bred for strength: cold-hardy, low-maintenance, and naturally resistant to pests and disease, making it exceptionally easy to grow. Also called a hardy hibiscus or swamp rose mallow, this perennial is native to moist areas of the eastern United States, and can be planted along streams or ponds—or for a stunning effect, plant several as a summer hedge.
Massive, Striking Blooms: Each flower can span up to 11 in. across, and the color combo is unforgettable: blush-pink petals trimmed in white with a bold red center. This is the kind of plant that turns heads from across the yard, and butterflies find it irresistible, too.
Cold Hardy and Low Maintenance: Unlike tropical varieties, Eye Candy is hardy all the way to Zone 4, so even northern gardeners can enjoy its lush summer display. Once established, it’s a strong and reliable bloomer, growing 3-4 ft. tall with a nicely rounded habit. You won’t need to fuss over it—just plant in full sun and give it a little room to show off.
Naturally Resists Disease and Pests: One of the biggest perks of this exclusive cultivar is its built-in strength. Eye Candy shows excellent resistance to common garden issues, which means fewer chemicals, less stress, and more time to enjoy the view.
