Description
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'West Coast Red' is a vibrant evergreen shrub that adds a pop of bold colour to any landscape. Its flowers are an intense, rich red, standing out beautifully against the glossy green foliage. This variety grows to a manageable size, making it a perfect choice for small gardens, pots, or mixed borders. Its compact form and striking blooms create a dramatic focal point wherever it's planted.
This cultivar thrives in Perth's sunny climate, flourishing in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent watering during hotter months.
