MAHOE Solid Leaf Sea Hibiscus Tropical Tree Live Plant Colored Leaves Yellow Coral Flowers Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Tree Plant Emeralds R

Solid leaved Mahoes or Sea Hibiscus are pimarily grown for the unique and beautifully colored large heart shaped leaves that emerge as pink bronze and mature to be a beautifully rich color varying from red to green, these plants are actually very genetically unstable and may revert to their beautifully variegated form at random.

The Mahoe blooms randomly in warm weather with a large, open, short lived flower that opens as a bright pastel yellow with a deep ruby/maroon eye and then gradually change to coral and then red before dropping away the next day.

Mahoes are exceptionally salt tolerant, so well suited for seaside planting, native to Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, grow along the beach, brackish riverside, and mangrove swamps. They are tolerant of a wide range of poor sandy conditions, and require little care or maintenance once well established.

Mahoes can be adapted to be grown indoors as a large potted plant, but will eventually become too large for the space.

Check local ordinances as some coastal municipalities, HOAs, Community Development Boards may have restrictions and requirements for planting this species.
