Hibiscus Hollywood Wild Child lives up to every letter of her name — bold, dramatic and utterly untamed. Part of the prestigious American Hollywood Hibiscus™ collection, developed by Sunset Plants in California and trademarked for their exceptional bloom quality and unforgettable names, Wild Child is a genuine US-origin variety that is extraordinarily rare in South Africa.

She produces large, wide-open ruffled blooms in a rich, vibrant orange, dramatically marked with dark orange veins that radiate through each petal like brushstrokes of fire, anchored by a deep, dark crown at the centre that commands attention from across the garden. A showstopper, a conversation starter, and a serious collector's find.
