Just got these at Wallworld the white one last week both shots same plant [Linked Image] [Linked Image] The purple I got Saturday both shots same plant. [Linked Image] [Linked Image] Tags on both plants same same identicale thing. Wallywolrd has offered my money back or plant of MY choice for the white one back. I said nope I bought and oaid for it it is now mine. Not sure if they know something their not telling or what tags do say blooms range in color from white to purple . Look at difference in bloom size. laugh

Great bushes! They are the same thing just a different flower. We call them Rose of Sharon. I have a white with a pink center, purple single, solid white single and one just like your second picture. Great finds.

Was given 3 more just Wednesday by a froeind cleaning out his yard as the tind to multiply real easy. Have a friend in North part of state needs something in her yard I always give her some of what I have. Of course I share with anyone that wants what I have. Anyone comes to my house they leave with an Hibiscus of some sort or some other flower.We also call them Rose of Sharon they are same plant.

I love Hibiscus, l to have the white with the pink center also the deep pink one , plus the pure white. Mine will not be in bloom for at least another 3weeks yet though. Have to say my favourite is the pure white. Your pics are great.
