- Description
How do you make the best-selling variety in the Hollywood Hibiscus series even more popular? You add a space-saving dwarf version of it to the line, like Hollywood Hibiscus Rico Pico. The dwarf version of Rico Suave™ shares its bright yellow flowers, but it has even bigger red eye zone extensions. Outstanding leaf spot resistance makes this petite tropical hibiscus a big asset in containers and the landscape.
As tropical hibiscus, Hollywood Hibiscus cannot tolerate cold temperatures. However, they make excellent plants for summer color in cold areas and are easy to grow in containers. Their big, colorful flowers also attract hummingbirds. If you live in a cold climate and wish to bring your Hollywood Hibiscus 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.
