Hibiscus plant named ‘Robert Fleming’

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of winter hardy hibiscus plant named ‘Robert Fleming’ is the result of a unique hybridization. This new and distinct cultivar is characterized primarily as to novelty by its extreme cold hardiness to Zone 4, its ovate “Hydrangea-like” green leaves, its rich, large, dark red flowers that are very overlapping and ruffled, its short stature and compactness with vigorous growth potential, total refinement, and its floriferous nature from midsummer until frost.

We claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant, as herein shown and described, characterized by its green, ovate “Hydrangea-type” crinkled foliage, its medium-sized and overlapping, bright red, ruffled flowers, its more compact size, its vigor and its hardiness.
