It was a bargain, and I was hoping it would be red, but man, those blooms are still so pretty!

Oooh... Hibiscus!

Is it a dwarf or full size?! I have both and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE those blooms no matter how short they seem to be. :D

Very pretty! I usually have one in a pot for the summer- but this year I bought a plant and put it in the garden.... I think I am better off with it in a pot. Easier to keep track of for watering...The blooms sure are pretty though!

This is the hibiscus my MIL has us keep for the summers and she winters over in her apartment. I was so pleased with the unique color the 1st time I saw it. Your's is lovely, too!

It's about 3' tall. Is that dwarf or full size? I have a beautiful hot pink one that's not a perennial, so I have to overwinter that one in the garage.

Mine over winter well, but its a very warm climate here. Yes, you do have a dwarf, a standard size gets up to and above 6' tall. They're both still WAY pretty! :)
