Tropical Hibiscus 'Saffron': Spice Gold

Precious as the spice, 'Saffron' (2006 Black hybrid) glows with the rich, warm, golden-orange hue of true saffron threads.

Saffron Gold

The single flowers are 5-6 inches wide, a deep, saturated golden-orange—richer than yellow, lighter than orange. The color is uniform and luminous. A matching staminal column. The plant is vigorous and free-flowering.
