Abstract:
A Hibiscus plant particularly producing flowers about 18-20 centimeters (7-8 inches) in diameter. Its heavy texture petals are cartwheel overlapped, and tufted with an undulated petal margin. Its single flower form has a picotee yellow orange (between 19A-21D) edge, red (between 40A-43A) outer body which blends into a slightly redder (near 44A-45A) inner body to a darker red (near 45A-46A) color eye. The plant has medium sized leaves (about 12-14 cm in length and about 11-13 cm in width), cordate to deltoid leaves with somewhat acuminate apices and round smooth bases. Its leaf density is medium to heavy. The plant has an upright medium growth habit and a flower life of three or more days on the plant. Rooting can easily be done via cuttings and the plant is hardy to about 30. degree. F. (0. degree. C. ).
