    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A delight to see, Hibiscus 'Persimmon' is a prolific bloomer of 6-7" double flowers with persimmony-pink petals highlighted with touches of yellow and orange. This evergreen shrub makes a nice upright bush with serrated glossy green leaves. In cold climates it blooms mostly during the sunny summer months but in tropical zones the plants are ever-blooming. Grow in full sun in moist fertile soil. Hibiscus 'Persimmon' is a hummingbird and butterfly attractant.
