Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a perennial herbaceous hibiscus with a compact, rounded bush habit, reaching a height of 100–125 cm. The leaves are 3–5-lobed, resembling maple leaves, and are green in color with a possible purple tint in the sun.

The flowers are very large, 25–30 cm in diameter, with wavy petals. Their color changes from creamy-yellow in the bud to creamy-white when fully open, while a bright red or crimson eye remains in the center.

The variety blooms from July until the first frost. It is characterized by high winter hardiness, withstanding temperatures down to -30...-34°C; the above-ground part dies back annually and regrows from the root in the spring. The plant is suitable for use in landscape design and container cultivation.
