    Plant Type: Perennials

    Stunning! Tissue-paper like pink blossoms with a deep red eye, opening 6-8 in. in diameter early in the morning. As the morning progresses the blossoms tightly twist to a close. The blooms are short-lived, lasting 1-3 days, but they are replaced by a profusion of new buds. The hardy hibiscus bloom period generally lasts 2-4 weeks.
