    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Large, bright sunny yellow, full and rounded flowers are produced throughout the growing season on this vigorous Tropical Hibiscus. The brilliant yellow flowers contrast nicely with the rich green glossy foliage of this upright to spreading naturally evergreen shrub. Fort Myers Yellow is also often seen grown as a 4-6' high tree standard or braid. Where not hardy, this Hibiscus is as pretty in a pot as it is in a tropical garden or landscape. Provide ample sunlight and an average moist but not soggy, moderately fertile soil for the best growth and continuous flowering.
