    Description

    Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Psyche' is a striking evergreen shrub admired for its vibrant red, frilly-edged flowers with prominent central stamens. The blooms appear over a long season—from summer into autumn or beyond—making it a stellar addition to any tropical or temperate garden. Glossy dark green leaves provide a dramatic backdrop, enhancing the richness of every flower.

    With a growth habit that can be compact or more spreading depending on climate, ‘Psyche’ thrives in sunny, well-drained soil. It does especially well when sheltered from frost and strong wind. Whether used as a specimen plant, informal hedge, or feature in containers, this hibiscus brings bold colour and floral drama to patios, garden beds, or entryways.
