This is one of my favorite fall scrubs I love watching the flowers change during the day.
Mine opens white and changes to a deep dark pink by the second day after opening.
Confederate Roses
(Hibiscus mutabilis):
These large shrubs are grown as very tall perennials, they are native of China.
They thrive in the South anywhere that they have time to open their late flowers before the first fall frost.
They get between eight and 15 feet .
