Hibiscus D-Tahiti: powerful and full of color
The D-Tahiti Series consists of genetically compact varieties that branch very easily and are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications - from garden and patio plants and indoor plants to topiary plants. The plants bloom profusely from spring to autumn with large, eye-catching flowers in both solid colours and striking bicoloured varieties. The elegant flowers have a life span of 2-3 days, which is perfectly balanced with the constant production of new flowers.
