Hibiscus: Cuttings for anyone?, 1 by stevesivek

Looks like the cultivar you have is "Joan" which is an old garden variety (meaning to hibiscus collectors that it will grow on it's own roots without being grafted to rootstock). I noticed that the date was early March. Cooler temperatures will intensify the colors of many hibiscus rosa-sinensis which may be why there is more red-orange in your pict than mine. It will also subdue the texture of the bloom making the petals flatter. I doubt, unless you special ordered it, that it is a grafted hybrid such as Rum Runner.
