Hibiscus Cream Bun

Hibiscus Cream Bun Details

Hibiscus Cream Bun is a popular variety due to its very showy flowers. The flowers are cream with a raspberry-red centre. They have a papery appearance and are produced through summer and autumn off upright, slender branches which also host glossy, green leaves. It typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry as well as moderate frost once established. In cool climates it may become deciduous or partially deciduous during winter. Hibiscus Cream Bun is commonly grown as a showy specimen, used as an informal hedge, planted for screening, included in a mixed planting, added to a tropical garden, or planted around outdoor living areas.
