Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants. The plant in my garden is a small shrub with very large flowers. It is popular as an ornate plant across the world. It is also believed by some to have certain medicinal values. But such claims are not validated by scientific studies. Certain species of Hibiscus can be used for paper making, rope making and landscaping. Dried hibiscus is taken as a food item in some places. Hibiscus tea is a beverage liked by many around the world.
The color of the flowers can be pink, white, red, peach, orange or yellow. The red Hibiscus flower shown here is the most common one found in South India.

Light purple should be a wonderful color for Hibiscus. Please post a picture when it blooms.
I have all the colors including white. I tend to favor the pink and orange I have.
Those are all nice colors. I have never seen a white one yet. Is white Hibiscus a rare variety?
