Big， double， bicolor red and pink blooms make the Peppermint Smoothie Hibiscus a real attention-getter in the landscape. Also known as Rose of Sharon， the blooms arrive late in the season， when many other flowering plants have faded， bringing a welcome burst of cheery color. Attracting butterflies， the blooms are nearly exotic in appearance， adding a tropical air to the landscape. Also， because Peppermint Smoothie is sterile， there are no messy seed pods to deal with. This 8 ft. tall， highly adaptable shrub seems custom-made for privacy hedges， but is also great for beds， borders and mass plantings. For best results， grow in well-drained soil， but this plant tolerates a fairly wide range of soil conditions. Blooms midsummer to frost. Space plants approximately 36 in. to 48 in. apart for best results. Each offer includes one dormant perennial plant grown in a 3 inch pot.
