Hardy Hibiscus 'Luna White': Dinner-Plate Perennial

Part of the acclaimed Luna Series, 'Luna White' (Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna White') is a compact, seed-grown perennial hibiscus that produces massive, dinner-plate-sized pure white flowers. This hardy hibiscus dies back to the ground each winter in cold climates, returning vigorously in spring.

Giant Pure White Blooms

The flowers are enormous, 7-8 inches across, with five broad, overlapping petals of pristine white. A small, deep red eye adds a touch of contrast. The blooms are held on strong, upright stems above the foliage. Flowering begins in mid-summer and continues into early fall. The plant forms a neat, rounded mound about 3 feet tall and wide.
