Every time I do an inventory of my favorite Hibiscus the Fleming’s are always at the top of the list.

But they still don't have that beautiful colors of tropical ones. I wish they could bring that over.

Love them all. If I was limited to one choice, I would go for Kopper King due to its ease of growth and deep root system. Also l like the color. As far as the others, I want them all.

To purchase from Fleming, you have to be a retailer since they are a wholesale company. They do have one company that handles their hybrids and will sell to the public. Click on the link on the left for retailer. They are not cheap. Glad I can sow them successfully from seeds. I don't care about the name as much as the color of the flower and hardiness.
