These are "Hardy Hibiscus" - a perennial that grows well here. While not the more petite sized tropical variety that we enjoy seeing in Hawaii, they are actually huge by comparison and bloom in the mid-summer. I have had this one for 3 seasons and I think I will be looking to add other colors of the plant as well. Like their tropical cousins, each blossom lasts only a day or two before folding up and falling off!
Hibiscus for a cold climate!
