  • Publication number: 20180324999
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-PKF’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves, upright growth, and large a large double flower characterized by a lack of an eye zone, or in some cases, an indistinct, extremely faint red blush at the base of the petals extending to about a quarter of the petal length of the outer petal whorl. The ribs of the outer whorl, as well as any petaloids, are a soft pinkish ivory. As the ribs split into venation, they extend through a soft pink body which extends to the petal edge. Doubling petaloids having the same radial color characteristics as the outer whorl are generally present, usually attached low on the staminal column, such as at the base or just above it. Any petaloids originating at higher points on the staminal column are usually much smaller than those with basal origin.

  • Publication number: 20180324997
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-DJL’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves, upright growth, and a large flower characterized by a very large dark red eye which extends nearly half of the petal length, the eye sharply margined with a deep pink zone which grades with peach steadily toward the petal edge, which can be entirely peach, with coral toned intermediates present in the body. Warm weather blooms usually bear a sprinkling of cream to white spots at the petal edge.

  • Publication number: 20180263163
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-STR’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves, upright growth, and a large flower characterized by a large glossy dark red eye which extends approximately one third of petal length, the eye abruptly shading into a strong orange zone extending to the petal edge.

  • Patent number: PP29278
    Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of hibiscus plant named ‘DUP-CHIP’, characterized by glossy, dark green leaves which are smaller than those of standard exotic hibiscus varieties, growth that is moderately upright but very compact, and large flowers characterized by a large dark red eye zone which extends approximately 50 percent of the petal length. The eye is sharply margined against a narrow zone of red wash, which is sharply margined against a light brown zone having subtle orange highlights and a savoyed, seersucker texture. The zone and the texture extend to the petal margin. The outer edge of the eye zone, as well as the red wash zone, is interrupted by radial venation, giving both zones an evenly-toothed appearance. Nevertheless, the eye is clearly defined with a definite margin. The petal margins are heavily curled, with the overlapping edge (viewed from the front of the flower) characterized by a crimp.
