DOUBLE HIBISCUS


This tropical hibiscus can grow up to more than 12 feet high.  We grow them to provide shade to the fuchsias and the hydrangeas during summer.  They're just so easy to grow.  From one plant, now we have more than 10.


It takes only less than a year for this cutting to grow to 5 ft. tall and loaded with blooms.  Even though the bloom only lasted a day or two but new buds open continously everyday.  We trimmed this down a bit to control its height and prevent the strong wind from knocking it down to the ground.  It's almost Christmas - and it hasn't stop blooming everyday.
