Notes

'Cookies and Cream' aloalo (Hibiscus 'Cookies and Cream') is a perennial for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and moist soil. Its white flowers can reach 6 to 7 inches across, and hummingbirds and bees visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer. It comes up late in spring, so mark the spot.

Pairs well with False indigo, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Maltese cross.
