Red Colour Hybrid Hibiscus Joba Gudhal Flower Plant (1-2 Feet Height)

Red Colour Hybrid Hibiscus Joba Gudhal (Hibiscus × rosa-sinensis), a vibrant Polynesian-origin hybrid cultivar, produces large trumpet-shaped red flowers 10-15 cm across with prominent orange anthers on bushy evergreen shrubs, thriving as continuous bloomers in tropical Indian gardens, balconies, or hedges. These heat-loving ornamentals feature glossy serrated ovate leaves, branched taproots, and polyploid genetics enabling diverse hybrid traits like double petals and vivid scarlet hues favored for hair adornments, puja offerings, and landscaping.
