Red Hibiscus
The red hibiscus seems to be the color the average person thinks of a hibiscus flower color. The red blooms are so common throughout the world. Red hibiscus is believed to be first, most ancestral of all hibiscuses. That single red bloom has emerged in modern times as common garden hibiscus displaying many different shades of reds such as the Robert Fleming or Lord Baltimore hibiscus.
The red hibiscus flower can now be seen displayed on hibiscus plants that range in height from 4 to 8 feet. The colorful shades and depths of the red flowers are diverse and spell binding. Spectacular, brilliant, red flowers 6” to 8” across, are borne most of summer and fall. The blooms last only one day, but new ones open daily.

The red hibiscus flower can be found on hardy hibiscus plants or on the tropical hibiscus. So, no matter where you live, you can enjoy the red colors of so many hibiscus varieties. Of course, a green house may be needed in zones 2 and 3 to grow either the hardy or the tropical hibiscus.
Follow the normal planting instructions for the red hibiscus. Plant in good organic soil and provide adequate moisture until the plant is well established. Place the red hibiscus in a location where it will receive at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun each. Enjoy those gorgeous red flowers!
