Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Hawaiin Sunset'

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Hawaiin Sunset'
Terrific colour this one, with intense hot pink centre fading to cream around the frilly edges.
It grows as a good bushy shrub of average height and was hybridised by Tony Kuhn. It is a well known variety across the world.
2017 update: I am currently out of stock.

  1. This is quite different from the Hawaiian Sunset hibiscus shown on Dave's Garden, did it mutate crossing the Pacific? Actually I prefer this one.

  2. The Hawaiian Sunset listed on Dave's Garden is a more recent hybrid marketed as one of a "Bahama Tropical"Hibiscus series. The one I pictured is an old cultivar from probably 30 years ago. Thanks for your interest.
