I've always been dotty about variegated foliage. Combine splashed leaves with a flower that's so alluring and it's difficult to imagine one lovelier. I'm over the moon about this stand-out shrub in Alice's Garden.
Hibiscus 'Sugar Tip' offers a delicate white tracery on its leaves, while the petite blooms with their colorful centers are sweet additions to flower arrangements. The double frilly flowers are subtle, about 1 and 1/2 inches wide with an eye-catching vermillion center.
It's won me over completely.
And I'm not known for selecting pale pink flowers.
This ProvenWinners Color Choice Shrub arrived as a trial plant, and remained a beloved summer bloomer in my California garden.
Just found your blog today ( my 53rd birthday) and am looking forward to reading through your past and future posts.

Deletethanks for stopping by to connect.
Is that a cultivar? We have a lot of hibiscus but I don't think I've seen this yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Bom
DeleteIndeed, a very sweet cultivar.
Small flowers compared to many, but very interesting.
That's a beautiful plant Alice. I haven't seen it before and I like it a lot. Hope all is well.
