Hibiscus rosa sinensis 'Adonicus Red Flamenco'

Common Name:
Adonicus Red Flamenco Hibiscus

Description:
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Adonicus Red Flamenco' is a bold, tropical-style evergreen shrub celebrated for its spectacular, large crimson-red blooms with deeply ruffled petals and a classic flared hibiscus form. The flowers are striking and vibrant, adding instant drama and colour to garden beds, courtyards, and outdoor entertaining spaces. Each bloom lasts only a couple of days, but the plant produces them in steady succession from late spring through to autumn. In Melbourne’s climate, this hibiscus thrives in warm, sunny positions with protection from frost and strong winds. It prefers rich, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering and feeding during the growing season. Ideal as a feature shrub, flowering screen, or container plant, 'Adonicus Red Flamenco' brings a resort-style tropical touch to suburban gardens with minimal maintenance.
