The 'Luna' series is a compact, heat-loving hardy hibiscus that produces spectacular 6-8 inch flowers. Locally, these are winners because they are well-adapted to the Houston metro area's moisture levels; they actually tolerate heavy clay and "wet feet" better than most perennials. While they thrive in damp spots, they are versatile enough for any sunny garden bed with regular irrigation.
