Whipped Cream Tropical Hibiscus rosa sensis hybrid Live Plant Exotic Fancy White Pink Starter Size 4

Hibiscus rosa seninsis, or Tropical Hibiscus, is a flowering tropical shrub with many cultivars and hybrids. These range from tough, resilient plants suitable for various landscape uses to delicate hothouse prizes that require special care. Whipped Cream falls in the middle of that scale.

It is a beautiful Hybrid, Fancy, Exotic type that produces larger and more complex flowers, colors, and patterns. The flower of Whipped Cream is a classic, large, five-petaled single in shades of creamy white with slightly ruffled edges, a soft raspberry pink throat, and a long cream-colored, pollen-tipped stamen. They unfurl from the bud slowly over a few days and last a day or two when fully open.

It grows successfully on its own roots and does not require grafting, but it performs best as a well-tended potted plant located in partial afternoon shade.
