Hibiscus splendens
“Pink Hollyhock Tree”

Hibiscus splendens “Pink Hollyhock Tree”

The Queen of the Hibiscus tribe! We are the only nursery in the universe to offer this RARE, exclusive & “splended” shrub Hibiscus species from Australia. It has girly, flower floozy goodness written all over it! Its flowers are a gynormous 6” across & red centered with bubble gum pink flowers. It’s from Australia, where it weathers drought very well & stays evergreen, although it is only marginally frost hardy (to 26 degrees F). It grows upwards of 6’ - reaching 20’ in the wild, but smaller in cultivation. The specimens I’ve seen are nice, well-mannered, rounded plants with silvery leaves, but the choice aspect of the plant is really the gorgeous and super-girly blooms. Va-va-voom!
