Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Double White'
Double White Hibiscus
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. 'Double White' produces masses of white petals which fill each flower creating a peony-like effect throughout summer.
