Yellow variety | Hibiscus furcellatus Family: Malvaceae Linden-leaf Rosemallow, Sleepy Hibiscus ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fast growing. Needs to be pruned all the time, otherwise becomes leggy. If pruned constantly, forms a nice big shrub. Tolerates dry conditions. Covered all over with vinous flowers (2-3 in diameter) that open in the morning, and by 3-4 pm they convolve in a fico-like knot, very funny! There is also a pink variety. Leaves are very tasty and are used in salads - it's a great source of Vitamin C. Seeds are used for making delicious tea. | Yellow variety |
