HOLLYWOOD HIBISCUS™ GOLDEN GLOBE™

Tropical Hibiscus

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

'JBN15010'

PPAF

  • Big bright flowers
  • Dark foliage
  • Long blooming
Description

A true show stopper, Hollywood Hibiscus™ Golden Globe™ tropical hibiscus will have human and pollinator visitors stopping by to enjoy its big, bright blooms from spring through fall. Its glorious gold flower buds open to reveal large orange flowers adorned with a red eye and a pink accent. This warm climate shrub was selected for its strong blooming and dark foliage, making it a perfect fit in the Hollywood Hibiscus® series of Hibiscus Rosa-sinensis. 

As a tropical hibiscus, Hollywood Hibiscus™ Golden Globe™ cannot tolerate cold temperatures. However, it makes an excellent plant for summer color in cold areas and is easy to grow in containers. If you live in a cold climate and wish to bring your Hollywood Hibiscus™ Golden Globe™ indoors for winter, keep it in a cool, bright spot, and avoid both under- and overwatering. The plant is likely to respond to its move indoors by dropping several leaves and ceasing flowering. However, once the weather warms back up and your Hollywood Hibiscus can go outdoors again, it will quickly recover and get back to being lush and full of blooms.

*Hollywood Hibiscus liners and finished plants are available through the network of licensed growers.

Growing Tips

For best flowering, especially in areas where you are growing Hollywood Hibiscus as a patio plant, fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer. “Bloom booster” and any fertilizers that contain high amounts of phosphorous (P, or the middle number in a fertilizer analysis) should be avoided. Excess phosphorous is harmful to tropical hibiscus, and will result in yellowing leaves and stunted, unattractive growth.
