Hibiscus 'Cherry Cheesecake'
A genus of hardy and tender annuals, evergreen and deciduous shrubs or small trees. The tender, evergreen species such as H. rosa-sinensis, are popular conservatory or house plants in temperate climates. These plants require winter protection in these cooler regions and can be grown as pot plants. The hardy species such as H. syriacus are suitable for annual or mixed borders. 'Cherry Cheesecake' is a hardy variety which produces huge, exotic looking blooms with thick, creamy pink overlapping petals with deep cherry red eyes and veining that radiates from the center and deep pink petal edges.
