| Hibiscus "Chinese Hibiscus" Hibiscus rosa-sinensis H. rosa-sinensis (Chinese hibiscus), H. schizopetalus (fringed hibiscus) The fragile beauty of hibiscus flowers, which bloom year round, belies the ease with which these plants are grown and their remarkable longevity of 25 years or more. The papery blossoms of the Chinese hibiscus grow up to 5 inches across and range from snowy white through cream to yellow, salmon, orange and scarlet. A notable variety,H. rosa -sinensis 'Cooperi', has 2 1/2-inch scarlet flowers and narrow, 2-inch leaves marked with olive green, pink, crimson and white. The fringed hibiscus has pendulous 2 1/2-inch orange-red flowers with lacy-edged petals. Plants can be kept under 3 feet tall by pruning. HOW TO GROW. Hibiscuses do best in at least four hours of direct sun a day, night temperatures of 60° to 65°, day temperatures of 70° or higher. Keep moist; fertilize monthly. Propagate from stem cuttings of new growth. Watch for aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, and scale insects. ){kind=small} ){kind=small} lots of pictures & information...(The Tropical Hibiscus) http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/hort400/graftage/hibiscus-growth.htm, Hibiscus Care Tropical Hibiscus from seeds... |
