Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Black Dragon's outstanding blooms are sure to impress you! The 8" deep burgundy flowers have unusual, eye-catching black centers. The American Hibiscus Society named it the 2005 Hibiscus of the Year. The bush is a slow grower and once it reaches 18" it starts to grow laterally. However, the spectacular blooms more than offset its growth habit. Grow in full sun with lots of water and fertilizer.
