Hibiscus – Pink Flamingo

Hibiscus ‘Pink Flamingo’ is a stunning evergreen flowering shrub producing large elegant blooms in soft flamingo-pink shades with deeper rosy centres and prominent contrasting stamens. Its lush tropical appearance and long flowering season make it a beautiful choice for adding colour, softness, and exotic charm to South African gardens.

Fast growing and easy to maintain, Pink Flamingo performs beautifully as a feature shrub, informal hedge, patio specimen, or container plant, flowering generously throughout the warmer months.

Plant Care

Sun:
Full sun to light partial shade. Best flowering occurs in full sun with at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil:
Prefers rich, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

Water:
Moderate. Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, especially during hot weather. Avoid prolonged dry conditions.

Pruning:
Light pruning throughout the growing season encourages branching and repeat flowering. Heavier shaping can be done in late winter or early spring.

Top tip:
Regular feeding during spring and summer encourages lush growth and continuous flowering.
