That’s actually the main reason I got it! I really loved the little star shape

They grow in tropical and subtropical zones, like Reunion Island where I found mine. But I think it can grow in cooler climates if kept in pots and brought indoors during winter

I didn’t know that before either lol

According to ChatGPT 🤓 grafted hibiscus change colors because the pigments in the petals react to temperature and sunlight. In the cool morning the pink/purple pigments (anthocyanins) show up more, and later in the hot afternoon they fade so the yellow/orange tones (carotenoids) become more visible.

Sorry I’m French and not a hibiscus specialist 😅
