Hibiscus Snow Queen

Hibiscus Snow Queen is one of the most distinctive and elegant hibiscus varieties available — a plant that is as beautiful in foliage as she is in bloom. Her leaves are a stunning tricolour display of deep green, crisp white and fresh lime, creating a variegated tapestry that catches the eye and adds year-round interest to any garden or patio, even when she is not in flower.

When she does bloom, she delivers elegant, smaller red flowers with soft pink tints — refined, delicate and perfectly complemented by her spectacular variegated foliage. Snow Queen is a collector's favourite and a true garden statement plant — sophisticated, rare in character, and utterly unforgettable.
