Hibiscus Lady Flo

Hibiscus Lady Flo is a truly beautiful tropical hibiscus — a real showstopper in any garden or patio display. She produces exceptionally large, wide-open blooms with generously ruffled petals in a rich, deep pink at the centre that fades gracefully into a soft, lighter pink towards the edges — a romantic, feminine colour transition that gives each bloom a luminous, almost watercolour-like quality.

Vigorous and free-flowering, Lady Flo is a classic SA garden favourite that rewards consistent care with an abundance of her exquisite, softly graduated blooms throughout the growing season. She is the kind of hibiscus that stops visitors in their tracks — elegant, generous and utterly lovely.
