The Chinese Rose Hibiscus, a perennial shrub, seduces with its funnel-shaped flowers with multiple petals, from red to white, which appear from June to September. In a pot, it requires gradual adaptation to full sun during the summer and must be brought indoors in winter. Its evergreen, medium green and serrated foliage harmonizes with its rounded shape. Maintenance includes regular repotting and pruning at the end of winter to preserve its shape. The shrub is on a stem, so it is grafted onto a rootstock to provide height.
