Bring a dramatic splash of colour to your outdoor space with Hibiscus Walberton’s Lunar Eclipse — a standout shrub known for its show-stopping, semi-double blooms. These flowers begin with an intense red at the centre, gradually fading into a vivid pink at the edges, giving the effect of a glowing lunar halo. Flowering generously from midsummer right into the first frosts, this hibiscus provides lasting seasonal interest.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike, this variety grows into a well-balanced shrub, reaching up to 3 metres tall (around 10 feet) and spreading about 1.8 metres (6 feet) wide. It thrives in sunny spots and appreciates regular watering during hot spells. With its lush display and pollinator-friendly flowers, it’s a brilliant addition to borders, large containers, or as a standalone specimen.

Why Choose a Walberton’s Hibiscus?

Eye-catching, oversized blooms in unique colour combinations
Robust hardiness and reliable performance in the UK climate
Tidy, attractive shape without excessive pruning
Exceptionally long flowering season for maximum impact

These plants deliver the tropical charm of hibiscus with the resilience needed to flourish in British weather.

Pot sizes explained

At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers.

We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

	Starter Plant (Plug Plant) Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.
	Jumbo Plug Plug Size: 6cm by 7cm. A fantastic alternative to a 9cm pot and saves on plastic too. The plants in this size are well established and give you a head start. This size is perfect for planting straight into containers and baskets as well as the garden.
	9cm pot Pot size: 9cm by 9-10cm. This size hold some well established plants, some of which maybe around 1 year old. We sell most of our ranges in this size and most of the plants sold in this size, are established enough to be planted straight outside.
	13cm or 1 litre pot Pot size: 12-13cm by 12-15cm Currently our largest size of plant, with the exception of our planted containers. Many of our House Plants are available in this size, as well as some special collections and varieties.
