Ornamental winter Hibiscus moscheutos named ‘Morrison-Gilberg (IX)’

Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from nine to eleven inches in diameter that are deep pink (Red-Purple Group 73A) at the margins with somewhat paler pink (Red-Purple Group 73C) toward the center of each petal, with a deeper red eye (Red Group 45A). The length of the blooming cycle is about four to five weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

I claim:
