Details
I originally obtained these single pink hibiscus seeds from my family in Chicago. The flowers add the look of the tropics to your garden, and are perennial from zones 4 to 10. The flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including hummingbirds and butterflies. Hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii, and the national flower of Malaysia.
