'Cranberry Muffin' is a yummy new HVH seedling that blooms with 6-8" brown and gold single flowers with a white eye and a red blush on each petal. The bush is large and vigorous, growing more than 6 feet tall in 4 or 5 years. 'Cranberry Muffin' is a hibiscus orphan, of unknown parentage, from the hybridizing program of Charles Black. Released from HVH in 2009.
