Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Sea Hibiscus Hibiscus tiliaceus
A striking coastal specimen with broad, heart-shaped foliage and a continuous display of vivid yellow blooms that deepen to orange and red as the day progresses. Hibiscus tiliaceus delivers year-round presence, bold, tropical, and structurally commanding in any landscape.
Why Sea Hibiscus
Flower Display: Daily succession of blooms cycling from bright yellow through orange to deep crimson, a dynamic, living colour sequence.
Coastal Resilience: Exceptional tolerance of salt air, wind exposure, and sandy soils, purpose-built for coastal and waterfront projects.
Rapid Canopy: Fast-establishing with a broad, spreading canopy that delivers shade and structure without years of waiting.
Tropical Aesthetic: Large, lush foliage creates an immediate sense of density and maturity befitting high-end resort and residential landscapes.
Low Maintenance: Once established, demands minimal intervention, a professional-grade performer that holds its presence season after season.
Ideal Applications
Coastal Properties: Planted as a windbreak or feature specimen on exposed beachfront and waterfront sites.
Resort & Hospitality Landscapes: Delivers the tropical canopy and continuous colour expected in premium leisure environments.
Screening & Privacy: Dense foliage makes it an effective living screen for boundary planting on residential and commercial projects.
Specimen Planting: Positioned as a standalone focal point where immediate scale and year-round interest are non-negotiable.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 3 to 4m
