Joseph's Take

If you love hardy hibiscus--also known as Rose of Sharon--but don't have room for the standard shrub, which usually reaches 8 feet tall, consider the Lil' Kim® Proven Winners series hibiscus. The Lil' Kim® series has the stunning flowers, in three color options, minus the invasive seeds, and is well-behaved in a small garden, reaching three to four feet tall and wide, slowly. Lil' Kim® Red sports pink to red blooms contrasted with dark green foliage. A very nice center piece in a summer container as well. Deciduous.
