Description:
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Adonicus White Flamenco' is a striking tropical-style evergreen shrub, known for its large, flamboyant blooms in a luminous white with a contrasting deep red to magenta eye. The ruffled petals and prominent central staminal column give the flowers a dramatic, elegant flair, reminiscent of Flamenco dancers’ sweeping costumes. Blooming from late spring through to autumn, this variety provides a continuous display of eye-catching flowers that shine against its glossy, dark green foliage. Perfect for adding a tropical resort feel to Melbourne gardens, 'Adonicus White Flamenco' thrives in full sun to part shade, requiring a sheltered position with protection from heavy frost.
