Hibiscus Golden Girl

Hibiscus Golden Girl is a radiant and breathtaking tropical hibiscus that commands attention the moment she blooms. She produces exceptionally large, wide-open blooms with generously ruffled petals in a pure, bright yellow — luminous, bold and utterly stunning. A plant that stops you in your tracks every single time.

Vigorous and free-flowering, Golden Girl is a reliable and much-loved SA garden classic. She also holds a very special place in the Botanical at Nine story — as one of the two parent varieties used to create our exclusive Hibiscus Charine hybrid, hand-pollinated by the founder of Botanical at Nine.
