Sport of the original El Capiololio. Large, pendant orange to apricot colored Hibiscus flowers are centered by a narrow stalk tipped with a pompom of frilly petals creating a 'poodled' effect. The El Capitolio Hibiscus have the potential to flower throughout the year under good conditions and with enough warmth and sunlight. The large blooms often have a streak of white and may even revert to single Hibiscus flowers during the short days of winter. Their unique form, flower size, vigor, and flower power all make the El Capitolio Hibiscus types some of our favorites for large tropical specimens. Bring indoors in our winters below 40o.
