Hibiscus

Unlike the tropical hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), which is sensitive to frost and can only survive in warm climates, hardy hibiscus can endure colder temperatures and return year after year. This resilience makes them a popular choice for gardeners in temperate regions.

The hardy Hibiscus is known for its large, eye-catching flowers that can span up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) in diameter. The flowers come in various vivid colors, including shades of pink, red, white, and bicolor combinations, adding a splash of color to gardens during the summer months.
