Description

Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Passion' brings a rich, sultry warmth to the late-summer garden, blending deep pink colour with graceful form. This handsome rose mallow rises on sturdy, upright stems that become pleasingly woody at the base, clothed in luxurious dark purple foliage that slowly burns to red as autumn advances. Its vast, velvety pink blooms unfold like tropical silks against that dark backdrop—an irresistible contrast that makes Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Passion' the centrepiece of any sunny border. Whether grown as a standalone feature or nestled among ornamental grasses and late perennials, it adds a sense of rhythm and drama that few plants can match.

Despite its exotic looks, Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Passion' is wonderfully hardy and remarkably well-mannered. Once established, it returns faithfully each year, its foliage emerging fresh and deeply coloured before the summer crescendo of enormous flowers begins. Each bloom seems to glow from within, catching the evening light in a way that makes the entire plant shimmer with vitality. With a little warmth, well-drained soil, and a touch of admiration, Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Passion' performs beautifully in British gardens, bringing that elusive balance of strength, elegance, and sheer exuberance that every gardener secretly hopes for.

Hibiscus takes its name from the Greek hibiskos, used by Greek botanist Dioscorides for mallow-like plants cherished for their soothing nature.

Useful information

    • Soak the Hibiscus 'Carousel Pink Passion' 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.
