Blossom Color: Magenta-Pink

Bloom Time: Midsummer to Early Fall

Zone: 4 to 9

Notes: Highly decorative flowers are the hallmark of this Hardy Hibiscus. 7" magenta pink flowers have heavily ruffled petals. The end of each petal is so puckered they appear notched. Flowers are indeterminate and appear the length of the stem, translating to more blooms earlier in the season when compared with traditional cultivars. The brightly colored and textured flowers are set off against a habit of dark green leaves with a bronze cast.
