Hibiscus trionum
Flower-of-an-Hour - bladder hibiscus
Description
Hibiscus trionum, commonly known as flower-of-an-hour, is a fast-growing annual plant with attractive, pale yellow flowers that have a dark maroon center. The flowers only last for a day, which is where it gets its name. The plant has deeply lobed leaves that add to its overall aesthetic appeal. Hibiscus trionum can grow up to a meter in height and tends to self-seed, which is a great benefit. This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. Regular watering during the growing season ensures optimal flowering.
