Make a bold tropical statement in your garden with this eye catching ornamental shrub, highly prized for its dramatic dark foliage, red flowers and fast growing habit. This striking tropical Hibiscus plant features large, deeply lobed leaves that are reminiscent of a Japanese maple and in rich shades of purple red foliage to add instant color to cottage gardens, mass plantings at the back of a border, as an annual specimen plant, in containers, or as a seasonal hedge. Intersperse this plant with others that have lime green or silver leaves or with ornamental grasses for some contrast and to show off its beautiful foliage. Burgundy flowers appear in early spring.
