Tropical Hibiscus 'Erin Rachel'

This hibiscus which I've been nurturing for over 4 years was growing quite slowly at first. I planted it outside a couple of years ago n...Read Moreext to the house where it can get plenty of sun, with a bit of shade from the roof. It was just growing up, and not out to start with, and only had one branch. I cut it back, saving the branch for a cutting.

It has brushed out very nicely, with several branches it's about 18 inches wide and high. It is covered with buds and flowers. I love the bright flowers which last two days. I recently planted the cutting outside too. It flowered a couple of times, but like it's mum, has only one branch,.so I'll cut it back too. I plan to have a few planted next to each other. I've had several compliments from neighbours.

This is a great plant. Very reliable bloomer, well-shaped plant and not that fussy about location.
I highly recommend this cultiva...Read Morer for those just getting into tropical hibiscus.

This is another coop liner I bought last March.
I love this plant. Not only are the blooms a knock-out color combo, the plant re...Read Moreally sets a high bud count. It forms a nice bushy plant with attractive glossy foliage.
The blooms are only about 5 inches across, but often there are several open the same day (even on my 9 month old zone 6 shade-grown specimen).
Highly recommend this one.
