Description
Hibiscus moscheutos Sweet Caroline is a type of marshmallow plant with rose-like buds. This plant blooms until late summer, producing big cup-shaped flowers in a bright pink colour. The flowers have a small reddish-purple centre and are complemented by decorative green foliage. This plant prefers waterlogged soil and is excellent for the edge of a pond or large pots kept moist on a terrace.
Hibiscus moscheutos belongs to the family Malvaceae, related to mallow and rose mallows. It is native to the marshes of the southern United States and can grow up to 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) tall. Horticulturists have created many cultivars, producing larger flowers with various colours and increased floribundity.
The 'Sweet Caroline' variety forms a bushy clump that can grow to 1.50m (4 ft 11 in) in a single season. Its floral buds are particularly graceful and arranged in a whirl. They open into simple pink flowers with slightly wrinkled petals. The flowers are short-lived but renew constantly from July to September. The stems are green and hairy, and the large leaves are bright green and ornamental throughout the growing season.
Marshmallow plants are spectacular and challenging to integrate into a natural setting. However, they are perfect for contemporary gardens or exotic scenes carefully organised around a water feature or on a terrace. This plant may suffer in cooler and mountainous areas, although it can tolerate temperatures as low as -12°C (10.4 °F). All varieties of marshmallow plants add another dimension to waterlogged flowerbeds or the edge of a pond, and they can be paired with other plants like Gunnera, cannas, Ethiopian arum, Rodgersia Chocolate Wings, or Colocasia esculenta.

Planting and care
The Hibiscus genus includes perennials that disappear above ground in winter. These marsh plants can be planted alongside Hardy Hibiscus or cold-hardy banana plants in warm and moist soil. While hardy down to -15°C (5 °F) in our garden, they require winter protection in colder climates. Protecting the stump from excessive winter moisture helps the plant withstand the cold better.
To create a bed, dig a hole 40 cm (15.7 in) in all directions, line it with waterproof film and fill it with a mixture of good garden soil and fertiliser. Keep the soil moist during the shooting and flowering period. In October, when the leaves turn yellow, keep the soil moist and trim the stems to 5 cm (2 in) above the ground in late autumn. Growth restarts late in the spring, April-May, depending on the climate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
