Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Flemings Fireball’ (Hardy Hibiscus) is an intriguing bushy perennial noted for its abundant, velvety, bright red flowers. Blooming continuously from mid to late summer, the gigantic flowers, 10 inches across (25 cm), are adorned with a small, darker eye and conspicuous, protruding, creamy-white to pale yellow tubes of stamens. Each flower lasts about 1-2 days, but new flowers open each day in rapid succession until late in the season. But even without these gorgeous blooms, this plant is worth growing for the deeply dissected, maple-like leaves which emerge green, and mature to a luscious purple color, but they do need full sun to develop the color fully.
