Hibiscus Charles Dixon

Hibiscus ‘Charles Dixon’ is a showy, sun-loving shrub with large, semi-double / double blooms in a rich red / dark red (almost but not quite maroon) shade, complemented by a slightly darker throat. In summer, the flowers are fully double, giving a lush, layered look. The rich, velvety colour contrasts beautifully with the deep green foliage, making this variety a real eye catcher in any sunny garden or patio.

Perfectly suited to South African growing conditions, ‘Charles Dixon’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular watering during hot spells and feeding with a balanced fertiliser in the growing season will encourage continuous flowering and lush growth. This variety is also excellent for coastal gardens, as it tolerates salty breezes, and it performs beautifully in large containers to brighten entertainment areas, poolside spots, and entranceways.

Reaching a height of approximately 1.5–2 metres, Hibiscus ‘Charles Dixon’ has an upright, bushy growth habit that makes it ideal for use as a focal point, a flowering hedge, or part of a bold, tropical-themed border. A light prune after flowering will help maintain a tidy shape and stimulate new growth for the next wave of blooms.

With its long flowering season, elegant rich red tones, and seasonal variation in bloom form, Hibiscus ‘Charles Dixon’ is a rewarding choice for gardeners who want lasting colour and tropical charm. Easy to grow and stunning in display, it will bring rich, welcoming colour to your outdoor spaces year after year.
