Open-pollinated. We of the foreshortened northern summers need a bit of the extravagant flounce of an hibiscus to put an exclamation point on the season. When we lost Southern Belle several years ago, we went looking for a replacement. These plants fit the bill with 6–8" saucer-shaped flowers in a mix of pinks, red and white, with contrasting red eyes where a contrast is to be had. Though at 24–36" they are somewhat shorter than our previous selection, the big bushy 2' wide plants still make a dramatic statement. They have proved themselves winter hardy and become more resilient to water and drought stress once they’re established. Likes full sun. Perennial, Zones 5-9.⑤
