New Hibiscus
This one is called "First Kiss" 8in span from petal to petal, white, yellow, pink and red are the colors.. I'm going to plant it up in a large clay pot so I can bring it in on our frosty nights. I usually don't get too excited over hibiscus, but this one really caught my eye.

That ia a lovely unique flower. I always thought they were solid red, pink, yellow, white, orange or blue...but looking at it seems like it was dipped in dye LOL the edges are ruffled and with a monocrome hue...they really did a good hybrid on your plant.

Beautiful! I love hibiscus too! I do have one in ground, tho next to the house, here in SF bay area - it's been fine. I do usually cut it back in winter tho, just because it grows so much every year!

WOW - beautiful coloring. It reminds me of a "swamp mallow" that is native here in Missouri. I actually bought one and put it in my backyard. It's flowers match your image perfectly except for the yellowing on the fringe of the leaves.
Great buy!
