Like its ballet namesake, 'Swan Lake' exudes grace and purity. This tropical hibiscus, of unknown hybridizer, produces exquisite, large white flowers with a delicate, slightly ruffled form.
The flowers are single, 5-6 inches in diameter, with broad, gracefully curved petals of pure white. The petals have a subtle, silky sheen and a gentle ruffle at the edges. The staminal column is white with pale yellow anthers. The overall effect is one of serene elegance. The plant has a strong, upright growth habit.
