| Botanical Name | Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Talk of the Town' |
| Description | A dramatic tropical variety known for its exceptionally large, classic red flowers and dark green foliage. While it loves the Houston humidity, it is sensitive to poor drainage. In areas with heavy clay soil, we recommend planting in containers or raised beds with high-quality potting mix to ensure the roots stay healthy and aerated. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 4-5 ft. Tall x 4-5 ft. Wide |
| Water | High; requires consistent watering, especially during the peak of Houston's summer, but must have excellent drainage to prevent root rot. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Must be protected from freezing temperatures) |
| Fertilization | Heavy feeder; use a water-soluble or slow-release hibiscus fertilizer high in potassium throughout the growing season. |
| Pruning | Prune in early spring to maintain a bushy shape and encourage new flowering wood. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
