Hibiscus poeppigii
Also called Poeppig's Rose Mallow
Poeppig's rosemallow is a small, partly woody subshrub from warm regions of the Americas, grown for its bright red hanging flowers. It does best in warm, sunny spots with some relief from hot afternoon sun and needs protection from cold.
Hibiscus poeppigii, formerly Achania poeppigii, is a species of evergreen herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the genus Hibiscus commonly called the poeppig's rosemallow or fairy hibiscus.
Hibiscus poeppigii is native to the Americas, found in Monroe and Miami-Dade counties in Florida (where NatureServe regards it as endangered), Mexico, the West Indies, and Guatemala.
