A hibiscus flower usually has five petals (a single hibiscus). Thanks to modern cultivation techniques, some varieties can produce flowers with more than five petals – called “double hibiscus” – in a dazzling array of colors, sizes, and shapes.

My tropical red hibiscus in the front yard produces not only an occasional single hibiscus but also gorgeous double hibiscus flowers – it looks ruffled!

They really don’t have a fragrance, but I love the happy flowers. My bush tries to bloom all year long if the weather is half-way warm and it gets watered.

Bright red flowers brighten the day all year long.


Wishing you blue skies and beautiful flowers.

Beautiful photos. Love the deep, vibrant red!
I love your double hibiscus. Such a rich color.
I have never seen the double hibiscus variety before but they are so pretty! I love that ruffled look.
they are lovely and I love the ruffles
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double hibiscus. We can grow some here in the Southern Tier of New York but not all the varieties you can grow. Alana ramblinwitham
