Tropical Hibiscus 'Mango Tango': Vibrant Tropical Colors

Get ready for a color explosion with 'Mango Tango', a tropical hibiscus cultivar that lives up to its lively name. Hybridized by Black and registered in 2006, this variety produces stunning blooms that blend the warm hues of a tropical sunset—rich oranges, golden yellows, and deep reds—all in a single flower.

A Fiesta of Color

Each bloom is a masterpiece of color gradation. The petals typically open with a golden-yellow base, transitioning through intense orange to a deep red or burgundy eye zone. The edges may be ruffled or slightly serrated, adding texture. Flowers are large, often reaching 6 inches across, and are produced in abundance on a vigorous, well-branched shrub.
