Hibiscus Moscheutos ‘Mimi’ Live Plants (5-9") - Pack of 2 (TWO) - Dwarf Hardy Swamp Mallow - Giant Pink Blooms on Compact Bush - Cold Hardy

What You Will Receive: You will receive a premium pack of 2 Live Hibiscus Moscheutos ‘Mimi’ Starter Plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted saplings are shipped as established starts (with soil/plug) to ensure the root system is hydrated and ready for immediate planting to establish before the blooming season.

Tropical Beauty, Compact Size: Finally, a "Dinner Plate" Hibiscus that fits anywhere! Unlike its giant cousins that grow 6 feet tall, the 'Mimi' is a rare dwarf variety that stays neatly compact (2-3 feet). It produces the same massive, saucer-sized soft pink flowers with red centers, but on a manageable bush perfect for smaller landscapes.

Winter Hardy Perennial: Enjoy the look of the tropics without the winter worry. This is a true Hardy Hibiscus (Swamp Mallow), meaning it survives freezing winters down to Zone 5. It naturally dies back to the ground in winter and shoots up rapidly in late spring, returning bigger and more beautiful every year.

The Perfect Patio Pot Plant: Because of its unique dwarf stature, 'Mimi' is the #1 choice for container gardening. It allows you to place giant tropical blooms on your deck, balcony, or front porch without the plant taking over the entire space. It also thrives in "rain gardens" or wet spots where other plants rot.

Pollinator Super-Highway: Bring your garden to life. The wide, open petals act as a massive landing pad for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. The vibrant pink color acts as a beacon, ensuring your garden is a bustling sanctuary for local wildlife from mid-summer to the first frost.

Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the foliage and roots during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and hydrate the roots. Plant in a sunny location and keep soil consistently moist. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Exotic "Dinner Plate" Blooms for Small Spaces

Imagine having flowers the size of a serving platter blooming in your garden, even if you live in the freezing North. Now imagine that plant fits perfectly in a decorative pot on your patio. Meet Hibiscus 'Mimi', a gardening breakthrough that combines the massive, tropical appeal of the Hardy Hibiscus with a compact, dwarf growth habit.

Massive Blooms, Manageable Size

Standard Hardy Hibiscus can tower over 6 feet tall, often overpowering small gardens. 'Mimi' solves this problem. Growing to a tidy mature height of just 3 feet, it is the perfect "front of the border" plant. Despite its smaller stature, it doesn't compromise on flower power. It produces dozens of 7-to-8-inch wide, ruffled pink blossoms with a striking ruby-red eye.

A Perennial That Loves Water and Sun

Do you have a soggy spot in your yard or a heavy hand with the watering can? 'Mimi' loves it. Descended from the native "Swamp Mallow," this plant thrives in moist soil and loves the summer heat. It is a tough, rugged perennial that handles harsh winters (Zones 5-9) and blazing summers with equal ease.

The "Late Riser" Reward

Like all Hardy Hibiscus, 'Mimi' is a perennial that sleeps in. It dies back to the ground in winter and is one of the last plants to emerge in spring (often late May or June). But do not worry—once it wakes up, it grows at lightning speed, often growing an inch a day until it bursts into bloom for a spectacular late-summer show.
