Luna Pink Swirl Hibiscus is a compact woody perennial with hardy stems and large lance-like foliage with hairy undersides.  The huge pink and white flowers with a cranberry center bloom on the upper leaf axils mid summer until frost attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in full sun and moist well-drained soils.
