Hibiscus coccineus Red
Hibiscus coccineus Red is a species of Hibiscus that is very hardy and
tropical looking. It can handle zone 6 and possibly colder winters.
Plants grow to 6 to 9 feet tall and die back to the ground in winter.
The leaves are green and resemble marijuana or a thin leaf Maple. The
stems on the red form are pink to red in color which is a great contrast
with the foliage. The flowers are large 6inches to 12 inches across.
The petals are a bit thinner than many of the hybrid Hibiscus which
gives it a unique look. Plants are grown in 3 to 4 inch pots.
