About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Chinese Lantern Hibiscus (Hibiscus schizopetalus) in yellow is an extraordinary tropical shrub famous for its elegant, pendulous, skirt-like flowers that dangle gracefully from arching stems. Each lantern-shaped bloom is deeply lacy with recurved petals that seem to float in the breeze. This yellow cultivar is especially striking, warming up any garden or balcony with cheerful, sun-like blossoms that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: Will the plant survive shipping?
