About

An outstanding Hibiscus series offering lush, tropical blooms in a wide range of exotic colors; all set off beautifully against glossy evergreen leaves. A fabulous summer patio plant in nearly any climate, and a reliable addition to the landscape in regions where winter temperatures remain above 35 degrees F. Hibiscus also makes an excellent bright light houseplant, so those patio containers can be wintered indoors where plants are not hardy. Flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
