Looking for something truly special? ‘Summer Carnival’ is the show-off your garden’s been waiting for. This rare beauty breaks the mold with gorgeous variegated foliage—each green leaf edged in a creamy-white margin with a soft blush of pink—and is topped with big, 7” magenta-pink blooms that light up the landscape in midsummer.

Unlike other variegated hibiscus, ‘Summer Carnival’ doesn’t just look good—it performs with strong vigor, excellent flower coverage, and a beautifully rounded, upright shape. It’s a must-have for collectors or anyone wanting to add something a little unexpected to the garden.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Upright & rounded: 4–4.5 ft tall and 4.5–5.5 ft wide
  

• Bright magenta-pink blooms + eye-catching variegated leaves

• Full sun to part shade

• Blooms from midsummer to early fall

• Attracts butterflies and supports pollinators

• Deer resistant + grows fast (up to an inch per day!)

• Native North American perennial

🌱 Planting & Care Tips:
‘Summer Carnival’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil and loves the sun. Like all hardy hibiscus, it’s a bit of a late riser in spring—but once it starts growing, it’s off to the races! Mulch well in its first winter, and prune back old stems in early spring. You’ll be rewarded with lush foliage and a season full of blooms.
