Tropical Hibiscus 'Double Trouble': Double the Fun

Why have one layer of petals when you can have two? 'Double Trouble' delivers double the flower power with its fully double, rich red blooms. This 2004 hybrid by Black is a prolific bloomer.

Double Red Delight

The flowers are fully double, 4-5 inches across, resembling fluffy red pom-poms or small roses. The color is a vibrant, clear red. The multiple petal layers create a dense, long-lasting bloom. The plant is compact and bushy, covering itself in flowers.
