Stunning! A Must Buy!
Absolutely Stunning Indeed. The flowers are huge. This is my favorite plant. It is important to keep them watered but not too much when it is hot. When you see their leaves start to drop down it is time to water again for sure. I always use exactly one gallon of water per Hibiscus plant every five days when there is no rain and I add fertilizer or coffee to the gallon of water every three weeks the entire summer. They are so beautiful. I have an assortment of colors! It makes me feel like getting roses every morning when I wake up as if I'm a Princess or something. It's a must have just for that alone!

Absolutely beautiful hibiscus.
Worth the money. These hibiscus are vibrant and the blooms are large. They are a nice addition to my roses and they co-exist so well together. I highly recommend these hibiscus.
