3 Color Change Confederate Rose - Hibiscus mutabulis - 30 seeds Hibiscus mutabilis, the Confederate Rose, or Cotton Rose, is a decidious shrub that can reach heights of 12 to 15 feet with a woody trunk; however, a multi-trunk bush 6 to 8 feet tall is more typical. Hibiscus mutabilis is native to Southern China, but is a favorite landscape plant in mild Winter climates. It is among the most spectacular and easily grown plant for use in the border. The flowers open pure white and change color over a three-day period until they are deep pink and then as they die assume a dark blue-pink hue. The most notable characteristic of this flowering shrub is that flowers of three distinct colors appear on the bush simultaneously as the blooms color cycle independent of one another. It has spectacular flowers at a time of year when not many other woody ornamentals are happening.
