Hibiscus 'Cherry Choco Latte' - Summerific® Cherry Choco Latte Hibiscus

Cherry Choco Latte Hibiscus is a vigorous woody perennial with a compact mounding habit and hardy upright stems.  Its deep green maple-like foliage have chocolate tones and hairy undersides.  The huge flowers are pink and white with deep pink veining and a large red eye bloom throughout summer into fall attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils.  The Summerific series blooms all long the stems instead of just at the stem ends like most older hibiscus varieties.
