Tropical Hibiscus 'Lion in Winter': Majestic Golden Mane

Regal and bold, 'Lion in Winter' roars with huge, golden-yellow flowers that resemble a lion's mane. This 2006 hybrid by Black is a powerhouse of color and size.

Golden Majesty

The single flowers are enormous, often 6-7 inches across, with broad, slightly recurved petals of a deep, rich golden yellow. The staminal column is long and prominent, also yellow, tipped with orange anthers—like a golden scepter. The plant is a vigorous, upright shrub with large, dark green leaves.
