  • Publication number: 20140053303
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-PPP’, characterized glossy, dark green leaves, upright habit appropriate for container production and culture; very free flowering habit; large flowers lacking a distinct eye zone, and instead, having a glossy, cherry pink center which extends up the staminal column as well as out into the flower body, where it meets a velvety strawberry-red zone which extends to the edge of the flower. The glossy pink center zone extends along the rays through the body to roughly 1 inch of the petal edge. The strawberry red body lightens slightly at the petal edge, and bears, along the outer inch (roughly) a sprinkling of white spots.

  • Publication number: 20140033384
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-WHDX’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves, semi-upright habit appropriate for container production and culture. It is relatively late to bloom, and thus particularly appropriate for growing as a standard or patio tree. The plant has a freely flowering habit, and a very large flower having a bright red eye, margined with a narrow iridescent whitish blue ring zone, which is margined with a watercolor orange body which extends to the edge of the bloom, said body containing a pumpkin orange branching venation which can extend to the edge of the bloom.

  • Publication number: 20140033381
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-CSMR’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves, upright habit appropriate for container production and culture, freely flowering habit, and a flower having a small, dark red eye, a brownish yellow zone which radiates from the eye, into a brownish orange zone, and a brownish orange edge. In Summer heat, the brownish orange zone is intensified in color and expanded, such that it extends to the eye zone, and light to heavy spotting of yellow may be present.
