Notes

'Edge of Night' aloalo (Hibiscus 'Edge of Night') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows about 35 to 47 inches tall and spreads 47 to 59 inches wide, so give it room. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Amaranth.
