Most have varigated leaves of silver and green. I suppose they need plenty of moisture to grow in a green house or in a yard. | | Neutral | HibLady | On Mar 23, 2002, HibLady wrote: H. diversifolius is native to S. Australia (i.e., grows in a temperate zone), in Hibiscus Section Furcaria, most of which are also hardy perennial. | | Neutral | eltel | On Jul 26, 2001, eltel from Macclesfield, CHESHIRE (Zone 8a) wrote: Hibiscus diversifolious - aka Swamp Hibiscus. A native of tropical Africa and Asia but has been introduced to Central and South America. A small shrub to 3 – 4 feet, it is often grown as an annual, but in pots as a perennial for cultivation in a warm house. The plant is listed as Zone 10 (European). Care is needed when handling the plant as the stems, leaves, and particularly the seed pods, are covered in tiny thorns. The flowers are solitary, cream or pale yellow with a maroon centre (see picture). Easy to raise from seed or cuttings sown under glass in Spring.
