Quick Overview
Hibiscus Peppermint Schnapps, Hibiscus 'Peppermint Schnapps' PPAF, is a unique new hibiscus with pink flowers that are dashed with streaks of deep reddish-pink down the center of each petal. The centers of the flowers have a bright red eye for an added flare. From midsummer until frost, the bushy plants are covered with huge 8-10 inch blooms that really draw attention. At a compact 42 inches tall, Hibiscus 'Peppermint Schnapp's is also much more suitable for smaller gardens than other varieties. Grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture. Do not allow to dry to the wilting point. Be patient; Hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring. For best performance, plant in full sun in moist soil, before the heat of the summer. Suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter. Although the Hibiscus grows tall, the need for staking is rare. These plants will die back to ground level during the winter months. Be careful to not over-water until plants show signs of growth! Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has the largest flowers of any perennial!
