Hibiscus Charine

Hibiscus Charine is a breathtaking and utterly exclusive hibiscus hybrid — a one-of-a-kind creation hand-pollinated by the founder of Botanical at Nine, crossed between the beloved Bimbo and Golden Girl varieties. She bears her creator’s name with pride — and she has earned it.

Her blooms are spectacular — a rich, dark pinkish-orange at the centre that melts into a luminous yellow edge, creating a warm, sunset-like gradient that is unlike anything else on the market. Hibiscus Charine is an unregistered original, available exclusively through Botanical at Nine — making her a truly rare and collectible addition to any garden or hibiscus collection.
