Cooperi Hibiscus, Tropical Hibiscus 'Cooperi', Chinese Hibiscus 'Cooperi', Rose Mallow 'Cooperi'
Noted for its variegated foliage, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Cooperi’ (Tropical Hibiscus) is a compact evergreen shrub with arresting lance-shaped leaves splashed with white, green and pink. Emerging almost white with green dots and pink edges and veins, its pink color fades away as the leaf matures. The foliage makes a splendid foil for the scarlet blooms, up to 4 in. across (10 cm). Blooming nearly year-round in frost-free areas, this tropical flower is a flamboyant addition to the landscape or patio containers with its shimmering foliage and dazzling abundance of blooms. The flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis are edible and used in salads in the Pacific Islands.
