Hibiscus schizopetalus Family: Malvaceae Coral Hibiscus, Skeleton Hibiscus, Chinese Lantern, Japanese Lantern, Fringed Hibiscus Origin: Tropical East Africa A weeping tree hibiscus. Grows rapidly and blooms freely. Flowers look like parachutes and can be recognized by the fringed and lacy petals which are bent backward. It has slender and gracefully curved stems. It will reach about 6 to 8 feet with a spread of 5 to 6 feet. It is a very fast grower. It gets very large in pots, so one needs to prune it often to keep a desired form. Pruning also helps to keep a abundance of flowers, since flower are formed on new wood. Blooms sporadically all year long.
