Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Berried Treasure'

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Berried Treasure'

This large flowering variety has recurved petals, a glowing pink centre with hints of grey, silver and mauve. Aptly named as there is a gold dusting to the back of the flower The pod parent or "Mother" is 'Topaz Glory' and the pollen parent or "Father" is 'Oyster Pearl'. It was bred by Brian Kerr. Traces of gold can also be found on the ruffled petal edges. Ten out of ten for a two day bloom.
