Abstract: A Hibiscus plant particularly producing flowers about 18-20 centimeters (7-8 inches) in diameter. Its heavy texture petals are cartwheel overlapped, and tufted with an undulated petal margin. Its single flower form has a picotee yellow orange (between 19A-21D) edge, red (between 40A-43A) outer body which blends into a slightly redder (near 44A-45A) inner body to a darker red (near 45A-46A) color eye. The plant has medium sized leaves (about 12-14 cm in length and about 11-13 cm in width), cordate to deltoid leaves with somewhat acuminate apices and round smooth bases. Its leaf density is medium to heavy. The plant has an upright medium growth habit and a flower life of three or more days on the plant. Rooting can easily be done via cuttings and the plant is hardy to about 30° F. (0° C.).
