These flowers are as lovely and many-petaled as Roses, boasting a pale lilac-influenced shade of pearly-pink that adds a cooling note to the blazing summer garden. Sugar Tip is sterile, so instead of putting out a few blooms and then making seed, it spends all its energy setting new buds. The result is MONTHS of nonstop blooms lasting all the way through early fall in most climates and even later in areas where frost comes late or not at all. Like most Hibiscus, Sugar Tip is eager to grow and absolutely determined to bloom, no matter what the weather does. Very tolerant of heat and humidity, it puts up with any well-drained soil, and appreciates plenty of water for the best bloom show. The plant you will recieve is growing in a 4" pot.
The white-edged leaves are as pretty as described. The plant arrived with the soil still moist so the plant looked all right (not wilted, or anything). I cannot say more than these because I will have to wait for next year, I hope, when the plant would've grown some more and, maybe, shown some flowers. Right now it is only about four inches high. I really hope it survives.
