A small to medium, evergreen shrub. Bright cerise pink Hibiscus flowers with a dark centre are produced for several months from late summer. Cut back old spent stems to where strong new shoots are seen at the base. Sources indicate it is Deer resistant, so perhaps it will also be resistant to kangaroos, rabbits and hopefully stock.
