Can some one Identify this small flowered hibiscus

15 years ago

Dear Forum,

I would be grateful if some one can identify this hibiscus. It has small pink flowers and it makes a lot of them. The shoots are rather flexible and gnarly with lots of bumps and twists. It is also a grafted plant.

Hi RRNSSS, Your bloom is called Tiny Tina in Australia, though is actually a very old variety that is reputed to come from Maylasia and may even be a species.

Good luck growing it and it does set seed.

Regards, Brian.
