Fantasia Hibiscus is a compact rounded woody perennial with upright hardy stems and lobed maple-like foliage with hairy undersides. The huge rosy pink flowers with a darker pink center eye and pale yellow stamen bloom repeatedly on the upper leaf axils throughout summer into fall attracting butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils.
