Lemon-yellow petals with bold red and burgundy centers make Rico Suave™ a total show-off—in the best way possible! These big, satellite dish-shaped blooms put on a nonstop performance all season long, turning heads and luring in hummingbirds like a floral bullseye.
Perfect for containers or garden beds, this tropical hibiscus is all about bold color with minimal fuss. In colder climates, simply bring it indoors for the winter—just find a bright, cool spot and go easy on the watering. It may drop a few leaves and take a break from blooming, but don’t worry—once it’s back in the sun, Rico Suave™ returns to form, lush and loaded with flowers. It's your ticket to a tropical getaway, no passport required!
