Summerific Hibiscus Week - "Edge of Night" and "Spinderella"

We had the opportunity to grow two new varieties of Hibiscus, or Rose Mallow, here in our growing zone of 9b in Tampa, FL., and they have been show stoppers, without a doubt! The flowers are massive, and we just got them planted a few months ago, so we can't wait to see how they do next year when they have the whole growing season to perform.
"Spinderella" is a new variety for this year, and "Edge of Night" will be available in garden centers beginning 2022.

They’re so beautiful! So happy we got to see them in person. 💗

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you! I'm glad you were able to come see them while they were in bloom!

[@ErinsGardenGeek]

Thanks so much!

[@sharonslater4935]

Hello, I love both of them, but Edge of Night is my favorite, the foliage is dark and mysterious and the bloom color compliments it. It's so beautiful, I need that in my life :) Where did you purchase the watering nozzle, it's quite unique, I've never seen anything like that before. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

[@Vitaluv]

Ooooh beautiful.

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words 🤗☺️

[@feltonanderson3009]

You guys did amazing job with the hibiscus! I'm definitely looking forward to adding Edge of Night. Plus now I'm thinking about Spinderella as well. Lol You both has seen my yard, and i can definitely use it with all the other hibiscus I have.

In Hawai’I, we admire these lovely, vibrant flowers. I like to visit Kapi’olani Hibiscus and Rose Garden in Kapi’olani Park on the island of ‘Oahu. Hawaiians adopted the hibiscus as the official territorial flower in the 1920s. In 1988, Hawai’i specifically selected the Hibiscus brackenridgei as the official state flower.

[@MrGardeners]

Wow, we didn’t know that fact about Hawaii and Hibiscus. It is one of our favorite flowers (the list is long haha) thanks for sharing 🤗

[@rodrigoamaralsouza186]

Beautiful hibiscus!👍

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you! It is one of our favorite 🤩

[@maxmzd]

Thanks for all the great info. Excited to plant some of these in our garden 🌺

[@MrGardeners]

Happy to pass along any tips we can! You'll love having them in your garden! They come back every year too, so you'll get to enjoy them for many years to come.

[@RomeliaGomez-Calmell7934]

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you! They should be even bigger and full of more blooms this year now that they have gotten a chance to get acclimated to their new location.

[@jilsunshine]

I love your gardening videos. These varieties of hibiscus are very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gardening tips!

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words! We have 3rd variety we are growing, but it got started about 3 weeks after these, so we will post about that one soon too! It's also a brand new variety that will be available in garden centers beginning next year!

It's April in Elk Grove Ca and the weather is starting to warm up in the 80s . We planted our summerific edge of night last fall and just yesterday we see our first green life peeking out. When do I start watering?

[@MrGardeners]

Hello Donna! Thank you for asking, and we’re happy to help. If you’re starting to see that the plant is pushing new growth, we recommend that you begin watering. Hibiscus, in general, like a lot of water. Just be sure that they don’t have “Wet Feet” or sit in water, as it will lead to rotting of the crown of the plant, or the root system. Hope you have a wonderful season with your hibiscus this year! 🤞🏼

[@adal1948]

Great information. They are beautiful. And I love the cameo appearance by Petunia.

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you! Petunia really loves being out in the garden with us.

[@nolagirl7082]

Hey there, thanks for the video! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these! I am interested in getting a hibiscus for my garden this year. I really love the contrast of the dark foliage and pink color on the “edge of night”. I have to know, what kind of hose extension/sprayer did you water that with?? I really like how the water flowed out of that hose you used. Looking for something new at the moment. I’ve been trying to get ready for the spring season coming up, lol! Ordering Biotone, MG water soluable fertilizer (which works just as good as PW btw and it’s a third of the price), parts for my irrigation system, you know the drill! And it’s cool to see you live in Tampa. I currently live in New Orleans but I’m originally from North Tampa(Spring Hill, New Port Richey area) and I lived in Tampa for many years.. happy gardening!🌻

[@MrGardeners]

Hi, Nola! Thank you so much for following along and for reaching out. We have never been to New Orleans, but it is definitely in our list of places we want to visit. We love Edge of Night too, the contrast with the leaves and flowers is amazing. Absolutely, that hose nozzle is my favorite! We got it at Home Depot and it’s called “Metal Bubbler” I think is less than $10 and we have had it for years, so it works really well. Happy gardening to you too 🪴we are so excited to share everything we have been working on 🙌🏻

[@tamikal.7346]

Hello, I purchased a spinderella last year, planted it in the fall, this summer it grew and is showing green buds, but none of the buds have opened, and its been 3 weeks now. Is there something wrong? Im in zone 5B. Thanks!

[@maxinecastelli5183]

Hi I live in Ontario Canada and have the same hibiscus you just planted I bought from Home Depot and also have a gorgeous dinner plate white hibiscus,,My question is if I can split it got so large and it looks like two plants in the same pot in the centre ..I would love to plant it in the garden ..please reply before it gets too cold and we get our first frost..or do I have to wait until spring.

[@MrGardeners]

Oh no, our apologies, we are just getting to your comment, so it is obviously too late 😓 what did you end up doing?

[@cnappier5255]

Can I use liquid fertilizer as well with this plant?

[@MrGardeners]

Definitely! We recommend using a slow release fertilizer at the time of planting, and then supplement with water soluble periodically throughout the season. Otherwise, you can also sprinkle more slow release around the drip line of the plant later in the season.

[@ashikaprasad7855]

How do I get this plant. I'm from Fiji Island in the south pacific

[@MrGardeners]

Let me find out for you, and I'll come back to this comment with an answer for you. Thank you for watching!

[@jibinjp8625]

Hey how's Whisker? Is he okay now?

[@MrGardeners]

Yes, he is doing great!! Thanks for following along

[@erinrivas6966]

Did you get any bugs with your hibiscus?

[@rollaa.4961]

Hi. I live in Maryland, zone 8b-a. I have Edge of Night. I purchased almost two years ago. It's planted in clay like soil in full sun. Watering everyday. I never had issues with bugs or anything else. 🙂 Happy planting!

[@MrGardeners]

We don't typically have an issue with bugs, but we have a robust variety of insect visitors that naturally maintain the bugs in the garden. Wasps cary away the excess caterpillars and the like. We do use RoseRX if we have an unusual breakout of a pest, but not usually an issue for us!
