Hibiscus 'French Vanilla' is a long-sought flower color break...the first hardy hibiscus hybrid with a yellow-blushed flower. If you grew Hibiscus 'Old Yella' and couldn't detect a bit of yellow unless you sprayed the flowers with lemon juice, here's what most of us expected. The flower buds on this 2020 Walters Gardens introduction are a nice buttery yellow, opening to 8" wide pale yellow before aging to pure white, with a burgundy throat. For us, the 4' tall x 3.5' wide, compact, well-branched clumps are laden with flowers from June through September.
