Description
Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Candy' is pure summer theatre—a showstopper that bursts into bloom just when your garden craves a little drama. Its enormous pink flowers, each painted with a rich red-pink eye, seem almost tropical in their opulence, yet this hardy rose mallow is perfectly content in a British border. Rising on upright stems that become pleasingly woody at the base, Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Candy' forms a handsome clump of maple-shaped foliage, the leaves shimmering from deep green to smoky purple as the light shifts. Come late summer, it puts on a breathtaking display that lasts until autumn’s first whispers, ensuring your garden ends the season on a glorious high.
There’s a generosity to Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Candy' that feels almost theatrical—each bloom can span the width of a teacup, yet it never appears overblown. Plant it where it can bask in full sun, and it’ll reward you year after year with an ever more impressive performance. The contrast between those dramatic petals and dusky leaves gives it real designer appeal, whether as a focal point in a border or among ornamental grasses and late-flowering perennials. Hardy, glamorous, and surprisingly undemanding, Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Candy' is a plant that knows how to take centre stage without a hint of fuss.

Useful information
-
Soak the Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Candy' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Rose mallow" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
