Details

Here at Costa Farms, we’ve grown and tested hundreds of Tropical Hibiscus varieties over the decades. The super-exciting HibisQs® Constellation varieties have more flower power than any we’ve ever seen! Draco is a stunner that produces rich red 4-inch-wide flowers—more than twice as many as older Tropical Hibiscus. It’s not just that it flowers more: The long-lasting flowers have extra-thick petals and stay open two or even three days. And it has a full, lush appearance top to bottom as it branches well (with more stems to produce flowers).

Covered in countless flowers
Blooms all summer long, even in intense heat
Loves all-day sun or afternoon sun with morning shade

Note: Your Hibiscus will arrive without open blooms (so they're not damaged while being shipped to you), but you should see flowers open within four or five days.

Orders received after Thursday will ship on the following Monday to guarantee freshness.

Care

Light Level: Direct Sunlight

This plant wants direct sun at least half to a full day. Grow it in a planter or garden bed where it gets plenty of sun.

Water Level: Very Thirsty

This plant is a very thirsty one, check on it 2-3 times per week and add water every time the top of the soil feels dry to the touch.

Quick Tips

For optimal blooms, use a time-release fertilizer in spring or fertilize monthly with a general-purpose fertilizer.

Plant Bio

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis HibisQs® Constellation Draco

Bred specially for us by our partners Graff Breeding, Constellation Draco is part of a brand-new collection of exclusive new Tropical Hibiscus that have a lot of exciting attributes. Draco and our other Constellation varieties have been bred to branch better, so you have a full, lush plant with more flowers. The flowers are also longer lasting than old-school Hibiscus, providing an extra-showy look. It continues to bloom all summer long, no matter how hot or humid the weather gets. And the developing buds are a brilliant red color, so you get an extra splash of visual appeal, even before the flowers open. It’s also delightfully easy to care for: All you need to do is keep it watered (though fertilizing it will encourage more blooms).

Brand-new Draco Tropical Hibiscus is hardy in USDA Zones 10-11, but can be brought indoors in cold-winter climates and treated as a houseplant if you want to save it from year to year.

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested.
