Hibiscus striatus 'Lambertianus' --Texas Striped Hibiscus--

Rare! Native Texas hibiscus with attractive pink blooms and pretty foliage that could almost belong to a morning glory. Watch out for the thorny stems! The name comes from the subtle striping or veining on the petals. Easy to grow, likes full sun in an open space where it gets plenty of air circulation. Typically grows in marshy areas, so will appreciate more water and richer soil than some natives. Plants are root hardy, so will die back to ground in winter and grow vigorously 7-10' tall in spring.
