Tropical Hibiscus

For those of us in the Northeast, the arrival of hibiscus plants in our garden centers signals the warm summer ahead. 

The showy flowers on the hibiscus plant only last for one day, opening in the morning and wilting in the afternoon.  Buds do grow quickly and flower constantly.

Hibiscus is native to warm climates and tropical regions and is the primary ingredient in many herbal teas.  It is also used in many cultures for medicinal purposes.

The hibiscus flower cannot withstand our harsh winters outdoors.  But each year we look forward to their arrival in our nurseries and appreciate their short but beautiful season here.
