Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Lollipop'


Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Lollipop'

This is one of the small windmill style of Hibiscus flowers which characteristically hang down and twirl around in the breeze. 
It is an Australian Hibiscus bred by Brian Kerr and his comment below describes its origin and his suggestion for its use as a hedging variety.
This lovely curled flower with radiating dark red stripes from the centre and slight fringing and crimping on the petal edge are produced in abundance for most of the year.

  1. Hello Ian, Lollipops is my creation. It is not a sport of Fiji White, though I suspect Fiji White could be its grandparent through Cuban Variety, Lollipops' mother. It makes a wonderful hedge and loves being pruned. Cheers, Brian Kerr
