Tropical Hibiscus 'Cherry Appaloosa': Spotted Sensation

Unique and eye-catching, 'Cherry Appaloosa' brings a playful spotted pattern to the hibiscus world. This 2004 introduction by Black features cherry-red flowers adorned with distinctive white speckles and streaks, reminiscent of an Appaloosa horse.

Speckled Blooms

Each flower is a work of art: a base of bright cherry red is overlaid with irregular white flecks, splashes, and streaks. No two flowers are exactly alike.
