It is beautiful in solid green also.

That should be so great.

I have 5 forms of variegated hibiscus, took many years to finally get this form, all the rest have pink in the leaves.

Eclipse I could use a little help in the info department on training a tree. I have a couple of rooted cuttings that are over 2 ft in height. Will it get taller and taller if I let it go or is the height it is now going to be about it? The reason for asking is I don't want to start pinching out the tip to make bushier if I can still get height out of it from leaving it just grow more.

Thanks

Dott, leave the growing tip alone till it reaches the height you want, then pinch the tip. :-)

Kyle, is pink on the leaves a bad thing or just not what you wanted? I was looking at mine and they do have pink or even red on some of the leaves.

Will you overwinter this in the house or in a greenhouse or?

Oh Chele, how could you ask such a question??????? Of course PINK on the leaves is a GOOD thing. LOL

Kyle just wanted a different one, a rarer one.

Crayola is going to have to add another color to their lineup. The new one is going to be called "Kell Pink"

ROTFLOL Kell, do you have this hibiscus? Maybe we could breed it back to a dark foliaged one to get more pink for you. :)

Badseed, I just wanted the TRUE snow queen which has no pink in it.I have several with pink and red in the foliage already.
:-)

Thanks for the info.

I am fascinated by this hibiscus. I bought a red and green and a tiny bit white variegated one from Homey d's last summer. It has had one smallish red blossom on it since I got it. I don't think it gets enough sun so I am going to move it out tomorrow. It is, however, a complete water hog. takes more than any other of my hibiscus even my new yellow 'Heaven Scent'. It's the first to droop every time. I like the white and green leaf patterns of yours. I love variegated plants.

Kyle if I had known you were looking for a Snow Queen I could have helped you out, I have a nice size bushy one. I could have sent you a few cuttings.

Then I also have the two with the pink and green and white in the leaves. This is my second summer for all three of these Hibiscus.

2pug, nice hibiscus area there. makes a nice grouping.

Thanks
