It is an established fact that flowers make the world a better, brighter, and more beautiful place. The ideal garden is not only one you can get your daily veggies from, but one which also brings a splash of color into your life. Hibiscuses are one type of flower that can bring many many waves of color into your world.
Also known generally as rose mallows, hibiscus plants are known for their wide-petaled attention-grabbing flowers. Various types of the hibiscus flower have even been used to brew hot and cold deliciously flavorful teas, chock full of Vitamin C. They can be grown in a variety of climates, from tropical to temperate zones, and as you'll see from these photographs, each species comes with its own unique color and pattern. Which brightly colored hibiscus will you be growing in your garden next?
