Live large in your special outdoor haven with a beautiful layer of pure romance in the background. Drape your entertainment area with these outstanding semi-double blooms July through October.

First Editions® Bali™ Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus 'Minfren') versatile shrubs develop many hundreds of tropical-looking white flowers over the long season. Each one is decorated with an unforgettable "splat" of Merlot purple-red center laid under a specialized frill.

Float one or more blooms in a shallow dish of water with a floating candle for the look of a luau. Or harvest laden armloads of the slender stems to fill tall vases placed along the top of your outdoor Tiki bar.

Next week you'll have more blooms to play with! These larger shrubs are a wonderful selection that produces a veritable volcano of blooms.

Delight local hummingbirds and butterflies with this choice. The semi-double blooms produce few seeds, but they provide a rich source of nectar.

Hardy Hibiscus is also known as Rose of Sharon and Althea. You'll appreciate how they start blooming just when other flowering shrubs have called it quits.

Tall, upright and slender growth habit makes it a great size for today's lot sizes. Keep them to any height with simple pruning in early spring.

Grow them in the ground, or use in oversize resin pots on a rented balcony. Attractive dark green foliage makes a perfect contrast to the beautifully relaxed white and red blooms.

These light-hearted charmers make an excellent housewarming present for "newbie" gardeners. These outdoor plants are actually far easier to care for than a few houseplants we could mention!

Fluttery fancy ruffled flowers of First Editions Bali Hibiscus make an opulent statement in any landscape. With dark red veins whiskering the throats, those sophisticated blooms bring the perfect kind of drama to elevate your landscape design up and "over the top".

No need to spoil your reputation by sharing how truly easy they are to grow and maintain. Order Bali Hibiscus from our shrub experts today!

We take immaculate care of our lovely plants, and ship them with pride directly to your door. Track your package, and do a happy dance when you see that sturdy box from Nature Hills on your doorstep!

How to Use First Editions Bali Hibiscus in the Landscape

Use just one as a magnificent privacy screen and outdoor "room divider" in a small space garden. It's 5:00 somewhere, right?

Get the party started...and remember to place this where you can make the most of both sides. Carve out a private spot on the far side for outdoor yoga, or a lovely getaway reading nook.

Use several of them to add height to a chain link fence. Your neighbor will be thrilled, too!

For a solid hedge that fills in quickly, plant them three feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

Turn your sunny side yard into an oasis with their help along your property line! Squeeze every drop of value from your investment in real estate.

Bali Hibiscus also looks incredible as an anchor plant at the corner of a garage or garden shed. It works beautifully with nearly any style of architecture, too.

Pop one in a big container to create an easy focal point. Or use several matching containers to bring designer style to your patio or deck.

Repeat them along the back of your Butterfly Gardens or mixed borders. The flowering display can't be beat, and this dynamic colorway works well with many other shades.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant them in full sun for best flowering. They'll stay healthy and prolific with at least six hours of sun a day.

Their favorite spot would boast rich, yet well-drained soil. Add a few handfuls of compost and a packet of Nature Hills Root Booster while planting.

Now...here's a secret. Rose of Sharon takes tough conditions, including clay soils and urban air. Do your best to make them happy, and be grateful for their rugged nature!

We weren't kidding when we said these are forgiving enough for beginners.

Prune them to shape in early spring just before Bali starts to grow. They flower on new growth, so don't prune after they start growing because you'll trim off the flowers!

Give them a moderate amount of water regularly. Young plants and container-grown plants should not dry out completely.

Apply a three-inch layer of wood mulch, but pull it back from directly touching the stems. Improve your soil over time and keep the roots cool with mulch!

Mix and match Bali Hibiscus with our other offerings for a custom look. You simply can't go wrong with these showy superstars. Order today!
