Home of the NO SMALL PLANTS!

We are a bona fide nursery where we grow plants. That means we don't just pop

our plants out of a tray and sell you a liner. Our plants are grown on to a

bigger size, many times even to a mature plant!

Height: 2.5 Feet Spread: 3.5 Feet 

Common Name: Hibiscus

                                                         HIBISCUS 'COOKIES AND

CREAM' PPAF CPBRAF

SUMMERIFIC® COLLECTION

A night and day combination of matte black foliage and pure white flowers.

'Cookies and Cream' emerges in late spring already showing its dark foliage; the

perfect backdrop to early season perennials. Like other dark-leaved Hardy

Hibiscus, full sun is necessary to bring out the deepest foliage color.

Beginning in midsummer slightly cupped 6-7" bright white flowers will appear.

Each bloom is absent the typical red eye of Hardy Hibiscus, appearing solid

white. The back of each petal has a slight pink blush near the tip. Green

calyxes follow bloom and contrast nicely with the dark foliage.

Compared with older varieties of herbaceous Hibiscus, 'Cookies and Cream' is

exceptionally compact and sturdy. Despite the smaller habit size, this selection

does not lack for flowers. Blooms will appear the length of the stem, for top to

bottom flower coverage, causing 'Cookies and Cream' to bloom both earlier and

longer than traditional varieties.

These North American native plants bring massive, tropical-looking flowers all

the way to zone 4. Although later to emerge than most perennials in spring,

these are fast growing plants capable of adding an inch of new growth a day.

Excellent at brightening up end of season gardens.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large

root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into

your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a

starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you

will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help.

During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear

smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants

may be dormant which means they may be losing or have completely lost their

leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import

restrictions.  Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and

the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of

AG.
