Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of winter-hardy, herbaceous, perennial, hybrid Hibiscus plant named ‘Garnet Globes’ comprising a rounded, compact, mound habit of multiple, well-branched, basal stems producing flowers beginning in late July to early August and continuing for at least ten weeks. The flowers are garnet-red colored and open up to produce a flat face with furrows or folding at the veins providing greater strength to withstand wind and rain. The foliage is three-lobed to five-lobed with the divisions cut nearly to the petiole or midrib. The new plant is useful in the landscape as a specimen or in mass.
