Apricot Brandy is a tropical hibiscus with a warm, glowing color that looks like sunlight captured in a flower. The large, double blooms open in rich coral-apricot tones, deepening toward the center with soft pinkish highlights. Each blossom shows layers of silky, overlapping petals that form a full, ruffled shape. Bright orange anthers and yellow pollen add a cheerful contrast.

This variety blooms freely through the warm months, especially with regular feeding and full sun. Flowers last only a day as with all hibiscus, but new buds follow continuously, keeping the plant in color for much of the year.

The foliage is glossy and deep green, forming a neat, bushy shrub that reaches about 4-6 ft tall and 3-4 ft wide. It's well suited for hedges, accent planting, or containers on sunny patios. Like other tropical hibiscus, it prefers warmth, rich well-drained soil, and consistent moisture.

Apricot Brandy adds a tropical, sunset hue to the garden and pairs beautifully with reds, yellows, and pinks. It's one of the most rewarding double hibiscus varieties for both landscape and container gardeners.

Similar variety with lighter, salmon color - Peach Blow, is an old landscape hybrid, widespread in Florida.
