PLANT OF THE MONTH

(HIT) - If you are looking for colorful flowers for a container all summer long, try Hibiscus ‘Stolen Kiss.’ The flowers of this new Hibiscus variety are not quite sure whether to blush slightly around the edges or deeply fill with a hot pink color. Either way, ‘Stolen Kiss’ lives up to its name. The large 9-10 inch blooms emerge on the first day as bright pink then fade to a lighter pink with frilly two-toned yellow and hot pink edges on the second day, and fade to white the third day. This plant is a vigorous grower and bloomer with dark green, heavily serrated leaves. Grow in full sun and add lots of fertilizer, and this plant will grow from 2 to 4 feet tall in a container. One plant in a 4-inch pot sells for $17.95 from Logee’s, 1-888-330-8038 or www.logees.com.
