Hibiscus Red Flyer Hardy Palms and Cycads but we grow it inHibiscus 'Red Flyer' is a 2002 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a hybrid of two US natives, Hibiscus coccineus x Hibiscus grandiflorus. This monster plant has sturdy stalks that towers to 9' in height, clothed with marijuana like foliage, which comes from Hibiscus coccineus parent. Its sawfly resistance comes from Hibiscus grandiflorus. The hybrid vigor came from really good sex. For us, Hibiscus 'Red Flyer' starts flowering in mid July and
