Hibiscus acetosella


Hibiscus acetosella (Hibiscus acetosella)

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.

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