Selected out of thousands of seedlings by the hybridizing team at Walters Gardens, Inc., 'Jazzberry Jam' PPAF absolutely has it all! This plant delivers everything you ever wanted in a hardy hibiscus. Fabulous 9 inch wide, deep magenta flowers with a red eye have delightfully ruffled, overlapping petals. They bloom for several months from midsummer into early fall.
During the rest of the season, the plants make a wonderful backdrop for other perennials or living screen because they have a very full, robust, upright habit. A single plant can also be used as a fabulous specimen or focal point in the summer garden.

Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well-drained soil. Keeping these plants watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage. Deadheading may prolong the bloom period. It is best to plant Hibiscus in the garden before the heat of the summer arrives, and should be heavily mulched the first winter. In spring, cut back any remaining stems before new growth appears. Be advised that this species is always one of the last to emerge in spring. Its vigorous growth rate more than makes up for this late start, however. Japanese beetles find these plants especially delicious.
