Hibiscus

If you are looking for dramatic flowers, consider tropical hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-Sinensis). The trumpet-shaped flowers are 3 to 8 inches in diameter with dramatic protruding stamens. Flowers are produced constantly, but each blossom lasts only one day. These plants can grow as high as 15 feet in good garden locations. In colder climates are often planted as container specimens that are either replanted annually or brought indoors during the cold months.
