Fringed Rosemallow (Hibiscus schizopetalus)
Description
Hibiscus schizopetalus is a shrub growing to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall. The red or pink flowers are very distinctive in their frilly, finely divided petals. Flowers with finely dissected petal have a range of colours, the most common being the red form (Keena et al., 2002; Ng, 2006). Leaves resemble those of H. rosa-sinensis.
