Hibiscus 2 colors?

16 years ago

I bought this hibiscus at Lowe's because it was supposed to be a double bloom peach. I have a double bloom red so though it would be a nice compliment to the garden. In the picture you will see what happened. One day I went outside and there was a big red bloom and underneath the flower it is peach but red on top. It blooms both colors at times. The red ones are the regular hibiscus bloom and the peach one is double bloom. What could have happened? It is not planted near my red one at all.

sometimes you get a 10" pot with four or five stalks from what they call in the business as liners, there might be four or five of these in the pot you bought to make it look fuller for purchase. They come in bundles and sometimes they just get mixed up and you get lucky with more than one color.

Thank you for responding. I had "kinda" thought something like that but just wasn't sure. It is interesting to say the least :-)
