❄️ How Turk's Cap can be full of snow in Summer


  • ⛄️ Malvaviscus x penduliflorus Variegata - "Summer Snow"- is very rare variegated variety Turk's Cap, or Firecracker Hibiscus.

  • ⛄️ Almost ever-blooming, this shrub looks much like a hibiscus (to which it is closely related) which flowers are ready to open. In fact, the flowers never open much, hence the common name of Sleepy Hibiscus.

  • ⛄️ It blooms often, and the flowers attract hummingbirds. The 2 inch long tubular flowers appear to be constructed of crimson crepe paper as they nod against the large variegated leaves.

  • ⛄️ Some leaves can be completely white! The little tree looks like a decorated Christmas tree!

  • ⛄️ Can be kept compact shape and is good for container culture and bonsai.
