Abelmoschus moschatus
Annual Hibiscus

Stunning flowers bloom sunny yellow against a backdrop of lush green foliage. Although frost sensitive, this plant can be grown as an annual in colder climates or perennial in warmer zones. Perfect for use as a fast growing plant to fill in spaces that need a burst of color. Butterflies and hummingbirds love to flutter around the flowers looking for something sweet. Grows well in almost any soil, full sun to part shade.
