Hibiscus ‘Duc de Brabant’

Hibiscus ‘Duc de Brabant’ is a striking deciduous shrub, prized for its large, ruffled pink flowers with a deep red centre. Flowering from mid-summer to autumn (July to September), it adds a dramatic touch to any garden with its vibrant blooms and rich, dark foliage. Reaching a height of 1.5–2 metres, this hardy hibiscus is perfect for borders, patio containers, or as a specimen plant in the garden.

A great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens, its open, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, providing an essential source of food during the late summer months.

For best results, plant in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded position. Hibiscus ‘Duc de Brabant’ thrives in moist, but not waterlogged soil and prefers a sheltered spot to protect its large flowers from strong winds.

Plant in spring or early autumn to allow roots time to establish. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and vibrant blooms. Applying a layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture and protect the roots in colder months.

With its gorgeous flowers, extended blooming season, and pollinator benefits, Hibiscus ‘Duc de Brabant’ is a wonderful addition to any garden, adding both beauty and wildlife value.
