Rare Hibiscus Plants - Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis - Sembaruthi - Shoeblack Plant - China Rose - Malvaceae

With huge, dinner-plate colourful flowers, perennial hibiscus plants add a bold, tropical effect to the garden. They are also highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds! The selected varieties are extremely rare. Hibiscus bloom on new wood (this year’s growth), so pruning is best done in the spring. In early spring, remove dead stems from established plants and apply a balanced fertilizer.

The plant has been used to soothe headaches, aching limbs, coughs, and inflammations.
Hibiscus tea is made from parts of a different type of hibiscus, Hibiscus sabdariffa
