Vigorous hybrid producing massive double orange flowers almost year-round. This tropical hibiscus (Hibiscus × rosa-sinensis) is a cultigen created by Polynesians in the South Pacific from Hibiscus cooperi and H. kaute. It features large, showy double flowers with taffy peach-colored petals draping from a delicate light pink center, with creamy yellow anthers and deep peach stigmas. In warm climates, flowering is nonstop. Glossy evergreen foliage and fast growth make it an excellent specimen plant, hedge, or container specimen. Flowers are edible and used in salads, teas, and as a natural pH indicator. National flower of Malaysia.

# Care Instructions - **Watering**: Water deeply once a week during dry spells; adjust based on climate and soil conditions. - **Lighting**: Place in full sun or partial shade depending on your location's sunlight availability. - **Pruning**: Remove dead or diseased leaves to promote healthy growth.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Double Orange Hibiscus 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Well-draining garden soil enriched with 30% organic vermicompost. Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.
