Also known as the Red Leaf Hibiscus. I started it from seed last spring, and it is now starting to flower. It is sometimes grown as an annual, but I am hoping it is warm enough here for it to be perennial.

It is a better red than I had hoped for.

Thanks! It is in an 8" pot, so you could probably overwinter one in a conservatory. This is in bloom again today :)

Thanks. I shall buy some seeds and give it a try :)
