'Lord' is a perennial type of Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) and a tried and true favorite among gardeners across a wide range of climates. It is prized for its large true solid deep red dinner plate sized flowers, quick growth habit, and resilience. It is a perennial type of Hibiscus that can be grown across a much wider range of climates than Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa senensis). The recommended USDA Zone Range is 5 to 9, although many gardeners in Zones 4 and 10 report success with them.

The plant grows as an upright, well-branched, bushy herbaceous perennial. This means well established plants grow quickly during the warm season, reaching an average 3 to 5 feet in height. They produce flowers in mid to late summer to early fall and then go fully dormant following the first frost. Perennial Hibiscus die back to the ground each winter and regrows from the roots in the spring.

The most notable feature of 'Lord Baltimore' is its dinner-plate-sized blooms, typically reaching 8 to 10 inches in diameter. The flowers are a rich, intense crimson red, often described as pure red, with slightly ruffled and overlapping petals. Each flower has a prominent, showy central staminal column, also red. Individual flowers last only for a day, but the plant produces a succession of blooms over a long period.

The size of the flowers, quick growth and easy care provide dramatic tropical looking pop to any landscape. Plant them in full sun in mixed perennial beds as backgrounds, anchors, or transitions border or as specimen , focal points or grow as potted plant. Its size and showy flowers make it a dramatic addition to landscapes. It can also be used in large containers, near water gardens or ponds, or as a temporary hedge.
