Hibiscus moscheutos PLANET® Griotte 'TANGRI'
A great show!
Like alL'Hibiscus moscheutos, the part which is above ground dies off with the first frost, but new shoots grow from the base in spring (April-May). They reach maximum height in summer when their magnificent flowering starts. From June - July to September, the short lived flowers renew themselves every two to three days.
In the PLANET® series with its specific qualities, 'Griotte' offers a great show with these large, early, cherry-coloured flowers.
It has crimson purple foliage, even when there are no flowers.

The PLANET® Hibiscus range
The PLANET® series has been specially selected by Pépinière FLEURS DU SUD.
These varieties were chosen first and foremost for their earliness and duration of flowering: they are better suited to more temperate summers.
In addition to these criteria, the originality of the colors, the transparency of the flower playing with the sunlight, the quality of the foliage, good branching and resistance to cold were also determining factors.
