Tropical Hibiscus 'Crème de Cacao': Chocolate Indulgence

Rich and decadent, 'Crème de Cacao' (also Crème de Cacao) tempts with flowers in sophisticated shades of chocolate, caramel, and cream. This 2006 hybrid by Black is a connoisseur's choice.

Decadent Color Palette

The single flowers are 4-5 inches across, exhibiting a unique blend of milky chocolate brown, warm caramel, and creamy beige, often with a darker chocolate eye. The colors are subtle, nuanced, and utterly unlike typical hibiscus. The plant has a compact, bushy habit.
