Neutral	NativePlantFan9	On Jun 6, 2005, NativePlantFan9 from Boca Raton, FL (Zone 10a) wrote: This attractive variety of Hibiscus tiliaceus is similar to Hibiscus tiliaceus 'Albo Variegata'. However, 'Tricolor' has leaves that are more green and with more scattered, "splashed" white markings - not vividly colored ENTIRELY over the entire leaves like 'Albo Variegata'. Like Hibiscus tiliaceus (the main species), it grows as a dense shrubby plant to small or medium tree. CAUTION - Hibiscus tiliaceus is listed as a Category Two Invasive by the FLEPPC (Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council).
