Hibiscus Valentines Crush PP 35170 Spain Farfugium 'Shishi Botan' has grey-greenHibiscus 'Valentine's Crush' is a new Hans Hansen creation with bright red flowers and a prominent darker red eye. Instead of the red coming from purple, as it typical with hardy hibiscus, this red comes from the orange spectrum, creating a unique scarlet red show. The dense 5' tall x 3. 5' wide deciduous clump is topped all summer with large 7" wide flowers with overlapping petals, that display nicely against the medium green foliage.
