The Hibiscus 'Fireball' is a striking perennial plant known for its vibrant red flowers and robust growth. This variety belongs to the Hibiscus moscheutos species, commonly referred to as the Hardy Hibiscus or Swamp Hibiscus, and is particularly admired for its large, showy blooms.
'Fireball' produces large, trumpet-shaped flowers that can reach up to 20 cm in diameter. The petals are a vivid red, creating a dramatic contrast against the dark green, heart-shaped leaves. These blooms typically appear from midsummer through early autumn, providing a long-lasting display of color. The foliage is lush and tropical-looking, adding to the plant's ornamental appeal.
This hibiscus variety can grow to a height of approximately 35 cm in its early stages, but it has the potential to reach up to 1.2 meters tall under optimal conditions. It features erect, woody stems and a bushy habit, making it suitable for borders, containers, or near water features.
Hibiscus 'Fireball' thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist. While it is tolerant of wet conditions, it should not be waterlogged. In colder climates, it is advisable to mulch around the base in winter to protect the roots from freezing temperatures.
This hibiscus is deciduous, meaning it sheds its leaves in the fall and regrows them in the spring. During its dormant period, the plant conserves energy, preparing for the next growing season.
The flowers of 'Fireball' are not notably fragrant. Their primary appeal lies in their striking color and large size rather than scent.
Note: Hibiscus plants, including 'Fireball', are generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets. However, it's always best to prevent ingestion of any plant material to avoid potential digestive discomfort.
With its bold red flowers and relatively easy care requirements, Hibiscus 'Fireball' makes an excellent addition to gardens seeking a splash of color and tropical flair.
