Dragon's Breath is a very rare, beautiful, special collector's hibiscus that can be quite tricky to grow. This offspring of Bonnie B and Blushing Romance has won dozens of hibiscus show awards, including Hibiscus of the Year. It has striking 7-9" single, maroon flowers with frosty white rays and brush strokes on each petal. The fascinating bloom wins shows when it has the normal 5 petals, but it can also be seen with as many as 10 fully overlapped petals. The extra petals are not allowed in show blooms, but for the collector, they add another dimension to Dragon's Breath's appeal. The compact, somewhat slow-growing bush prefers a mix of direct sun and shade, and performs best in filtered light. It is excellent as a potted plant, but does need a sheltered home. It can have problems when not watered enough for the conditions it is placed in. Dragon's Breath is highly recommended for those with more experience growing hibiscus.
