 Description: Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus is a stunning plant that can grow up to 5-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. Its large, deep glossy red/copper foliage is the star of this show. (even though they bloom up to 8 inches in diameter!) The blooms are long lasting and come mid summer, but the plant gets bushier and bushier the more you cut it! Great for fall wedding greenery and flower arrangements. One of our absolute favorites to use! 
 
 Tip: Make sure to boil the stems in water after you cut them. This will ensure they wilt much slower than normal.
