Tropical Hibiscus 'Moorea Moana Storm': Polynesian Tempest

Stormy Blooms

The single flowers are 5-6 inches wide, heavily ruffled and twisted. The color is a chaotic, magnificent blend of red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple—like a tropical storm at sunset. The plant is vigorous and free-flowering.
