rose mallow
Hibiscus moscheutos 'Carousel Red Wine' stands out with its dramatic dark purple foliage and striking deep red flowers, each reaching up to 18cm (7in) across. Flowering from July to September, this hardy, shrubby perennial creates a bold display, ideal for adding colour and texture to garden borders or large containers.
How to care for Hibiscus moscheutos Carousel Red Wine ('Tahi61') (PBR):
Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with moist, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in dry spells, watering deeply rather than little and often to encourage strong root growth.
Feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks from spring until late summer, switching to a high-potassium feed like tomato fertiliser to promote abundant blooms.
In autumn, apply a thick mulch of compost or well-rotted manure around the base to insulate the roots and retain moisture. This hardy perennial dies back completely in winter, so leave the stems intact for added protection before cutting them back to its woody base in early spring.
