Old Yella hardy hibiscus

17 years ago

does anyone have the flemmings "Old Yella" hardy hibiscus? I would like to know if it stays yellow or if it turns to cream color? some one said it is only yellow when in the bud stage? Is there another hardy hibiscus that is yellow for zone 5a or 4? any help would be appreciated!

I have had Old Yella for a few years, it has never been a true deep yellow, more a wishy washy cream color. The buds are a bit darker, but all in all it is a very pale yellow flower that is produced. I have not found another yellow hardy hib, but keep an eye on the Flemmings website, you never know what they will come up with next.
