Variegated Hibiscus 'Snow Queen': Tropical Elegance

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Snow Queen' dazzles with its striking variegated foliage—green leaves splashed with creamy white—and large, showy red flowers. This tropical shrub, part of the Malvaceae family, adds year-round interest to frost-free gardens or containers brought indoors for winter.

Reaching 4 to 6 feet tall, 'Snow Queen' blooms intermittently throughout the year in warm climates. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more flowers. The cultivar's origin is unknown, but its ornamental value is undeniable.
