Tropical Hibiscus

It’s a shocking pink indeed, Paul! A really bright beauty in your garden I’ll bet!

Thanks Kate. It wouldn't look out of place in Barbados but here it's a conversation piece.

wow is this in flower now?

Yes, it's in bloom now Eileen, but forced (they sell better) Here they are grown as annuals, but can be successfully overwintered as houseplants.

Very pretty and so early :o))

Yep, grown in a hot house. I thought the dark foliage was very attractive too.

It looks very familiar. Lol It’s grown everywhere outside here.

I'm sure

Hibiscus can grow to 30 ft tall here.

wow! and I thought 3 feet was big. lol!

Most are kept between 10 - 25 ft, though.
