Notes
'Brilliant' Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Brilliant') is a shrub for borders, containers, and hedges. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It stays evergreen and draws butterflies and hummingbirds.
Pairs well with Honey bush, Banana, and Emory Paul dahlia.
