There is a large shrub/tree growing next to a pit near Mulberry, Fl. Polk County. I have noticed it for years, but never found time to stop and see if I could collect seeds. Must not be invasive there. Only one around.

I have seen it growing into large trees in Hawaii. The wood is sometimes used by woodcrafters for carvings, bowls, trays, platters, etc. I like the way the bloom changes color from light yellow in the morning to dark orange-red in the late afternoon.

This variety of Hibiscus tiliaceus has attractive, very dark, deep purplish, purple-green to green or nearly black foilage. Like the common species (normal variety of Hibiscus tiliaceus), it grows as a shrubby, thicket-forming plant to small or medium tree.

CAUTION - Hibiscus tiliaceus is listed as a Category Two Invasive by the FLEPPC (Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council).
