'Sweet Caroline' is a sweetheart indeed! It has huge showy deep pink flowers with a red 'eye' (flower center) in summer for several weeks on a bushy, erect plant. This a standout plant for a mixed border. Hardy Hibiscus look like they should be tropicals, but they are quite hardy and capable of withstanding our winters. Many different varieties of hardy hibiscus are available in a range of colors and sizes. We just love 'Sweet Caroline' for it's dense bushy habit and masses of large showy flowers.
