The Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree is a darling shrub with a tree-like form and beautiful flowers. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has large trumpet-shaped pink flowers with subtle white veining. The blooms fade to yellow with age, so at any time during the summer-to-fall bloom cycle, the plant will be covered in both pink and yellow flowers. Several central leaders were maintained and braided, introducing texture and a sophisticated flair. Green, ovate foliage with gently serrated edges fills the branches, giving the shrub a full and dense appearance.
