With so many hibiscus out there, this one really stood out and yelled "Take me Home with you!" I am drawn to these flowers constantly, the coloration is unique, eye-catching - and gorgeous!! Visitors to my garden comment on it so often, I have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't "accidently" go home with one of them..LOL :-)

The left side of each petal is the softest pink. As one's eye moves across the petal the hue gradually deepens to a vivid rose. The eye of the blossom is bright red. The outer edges of the petals are blushed with the same color. This all adds up to a uniquely stunning effect. This is the plant to choose if you like to hear your guests exclaim, "WOW."
