| Botanical Pronunciation | hi-BIS-kus ROH-zuh si-NEN-sis |
|---|---|
| Lore | It was French impressionist painter Paul Gauguin who so often depicted this flower in Tahitian scenes. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing; reaches 8 to 10 ft. tall, 4 to 6 ft. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Summer; nearly year-round in mild climates. |
| Design Ideas | Plant next to patios, entries and in courtyards, where its beauty can be accentuated with flowers beneath and vines overhead. With its glossy, dense foliage, this Hibiscus creates a solid hedge or screen. Plant as a specimen to highlight entries or gateways. Very good choice against cream-colored plaster or stucco walls. A good cover for unsightly side yard fences and spaces between windows. Most charming when trained into a patio tree and planted in large pots stuffed with annual color. |
