Hibiscus Fairy

Hibiscus Fairy is a rare and enchanting tropical hibiscus of uncertain origin — a mystery beauty that arrived without a verified name and promptly earned one all her own. Her blooms are truly exceptional: large, generously ruffled and distinctly double-layered, with a rich cherry-pink crown that fades gracefully through soft light yellow into a delicate light peach at the edges — a warm, multi-toned colour transition that is utterly magical and unlike anything else in the garden.

With collector-quality blooms that rival the finest named hybrids, Hibiscus Fairy is a one-of-a-kind find — a plant that could not be identified from any known variety and so was given a name that suits her perfectly. She is rare, she is beautiful, and she is exclusively available through Botanical at Nine.
