Characteristics and Uses of Hibiscus Plants

These hibiscus seeds produce plants ranging from 3-8 feet tall, depending on the variety, with lush green foliage and large, trumpet-shaped flowers in a dazzling array of colors—red, pink, yellow, white, and more. Blooming from midsummer to fall, they bring bold beauty to gardens, patios, or as houseplants, while attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. The flowers also serve as striking cut blooms or can be dried for teas (especially from Hibiscus sabdariffa), blending ornamental and practical uses.

Growing Conditions for Hibiscus Plants
