Hibiscus 'White Buddy Jewel' (White Buddy Jewel Mallow)

SunZone: 4-8, at least 36" tall Origin: USA Hybrid

From Illinois hibiscus breeder Bill Morrison comes an unusual H. moscheutos hybrid. The compact 3' tall plants are covered with flowers from mid-summer through fall. The 10" wide white flowers are highlighted by a bright red central blotch, and the unopened buds are flushed with swirls of pink on the outside tips...reminds me of staring face-to-face at a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater...your age is showing if you remember back that far. As with all hardy hibiscus, they prefer moist soils but are amazingly drought-tolerant once established. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
