A Texas star in my back yard ,in front of a Pride of Bermuda tree.

Pardancanda sent this to me last year as a bareroot plant. I was real surprised to see the blooms this year.

First Bloom! Approximately 6" in diameter and a wonderful addition to the flower bed.

Incredibly vivid red petals, flowers attractive to butterflies who nectar at the base of the petals.

This plant seems to love its location and has produced some nice blooms.

This didnt grow at all last year, thought it was gone. Came back great this year.

I have the Swamp Hibiscus and this is the 2nd year for it to bloom for me here in OH and I have been able to overwinter it in my Pond.

Great plant to have in the hibiscus collection

The bloom is 7.5 inches across!
