Hibiscus - Lord Baltimore
Hibiscus - Lord Baltimore The Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore', Hibiscus moscheutos, has beautiful red flowers that are a definite eye-catcher. It has a plant height of 6-8' and a spread of 3-4'. The brilliant red flowers are 10 in diameter, so 'Lord Baltimore' is a colorful hibiscus that should not be missed! The deep green, lobed leaves make a wonderful contrast. 'Lady Baltimore' prefers moist to wet soil conditions and loves the heat of summer. It is frequently used as a specimen. It is best to plant this Hibiscus in a full sun to partial shade area, and it will tolerate most soil types. 'Lord Baltimore' looks wonderful with grasses, or as a background plant. It grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture. Do not allow to dry to the wilting point. Be patient; hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring; provide regular fertilization during the growing season. Be careful to not over water until plants show signs of growth! For best performance, plant before the heat of the summer. 'Lord Baltimore' is suitable for very large containers, but pots must be protected over winter. Although the hibiscus grows tall, the need for staking is rare. These plants will die back to ground level during the winter months. Hibiscus needs little care once established, attracts butterflies, and it has some of the largest flowers of any perennial! * Large flowers * Easy to grow * Vigorous grower
