MADAME DUPONT HibiscusTropical Live Plant Extra Large Exotic Fancy Single White Pink Lavender Red Flower Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald TM

Tropical Exotic Cajun Hibiscus Madame Dupont is a large fancy multi toned single flower in shades of lavender blue, mauve and rose red. The flowers are large, averaging 7 to 8 inches across, with a graduated lavender to mauve body fading into a pinwheeled rose red throat.

Hibiscus in the blue and lavender shades have always been among the most coveted colors, but often the plants were weak, spindly and fussy. Although Madame Dupont is a bit finicky in some respects, it is a vast improvement over most of the earlier introductions in this color range. While it is not the easiest or most carefree of the Cajun Line, the exceptional size and color of the flower makes it well worth the extra effort.

The large 7 to 8 inch blooms of Madame Dupont grace an erect, upward growing bush with large glossy leaves, slightly pointed oval leaves. Although it can be grown planted in the ground in the tropics with very good care, it will perform better, produce larger flowers and live much longer as a well tended potted plant.
