There is nothing that brings tropical vibes to the garden better than a beautiful hibiscus!
Bali™ Hibiscus is the perfect addition to gardens in Zones 5-8, offering stunning blooms and seasonal interest wherever they are planted. This Rock Star Plant is perfect for smaller spaces while packing quite a punch, thanks to the full blooms and foliage.
Bali™ has pure white, semi-double flowers that are highlighted with a bold purple-red center. It is truly a stunning sight to behold in cooler climate gardens! Learn even more about Rock Star Plants for cool climates.
This Rock Star Plant’s blooming season begins in July and runs through September, giving the garden a much-needed boost of color in early fall.
It also has the added benefit of being deer-resistant, meaning you get more time with your blooms instead of having them end up as snacks for furry visitors. Read more about deer-resistant gardening.
Since Bali™ matures at 5-8’ tall and 4-7’ wide, it is perfect for all kinds of spaces. From smaller urban gardens to large landscapes, this Rock Star is a great choice for all kinds of gardeners.
Planting: This Rock Star thrives when planted in full sun. To ensure you are planting your hibiscus correctly, check out our planting blog.
Watering: Bali™ prefers soil that is kept evenly moist. Be sure to watch our video on watering for the best tips and tricks to keep Bali™ hydrated all season long.
Fertilizing: Bali™ won’t need much fertilizer to kickstart that stunning color, but if you want to apply, be sure to use a granular, well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply once in spring when you see green leafy new growth and be sure to follow the directions on the package. To learn more, watch our video on how to fertilize in spring.
Pruning: Bali™ won’t require much pruning, if any, thanks to its natural upright shape. However, if shaping is needed, wait until after it is done blooming to remove any dead or crossing branches and trim as needed.
