Now that I see the bush photos from just a few months ago I am impressed with the recent growth.  I have two bushes, the other is the most right one coming up the driveway plants

Another one of my top 10 all time favorite cultivars. The colors on the blooms are so happy and yummy looking I want to eat them! So Confection Perfection has a compact growth habit which is amazing. It likes to grow vertically with very strong branches that are lush with beautiful, waxy super green leaves. This plant is probably the best one out of hundreds I have as far as how it responds to pruning. I'll let it get 6-7 ft tall and then prune it way down to 2 ft. It then comes back the next growing season with tons of strong new branches that fill up with buds.

It blooms all the time and you can see the blooms way down the street. They totally pop against the dark green foliage. You have to baby this one when it is a young plant but once it gets going watch out. It loves to be pruned so you can really sculpt it into any shape or space you might find that is constrained.

Just look at those colors, how can you not be instantly uplifted by those magical colors? And the blooms are really big too - if I were to imagine the atypical hibiscus people dream about this is it. Some smart country should put it on their flag. I'll start a new one, the Hibiscus Republic!
