French Vanilla Hibiscus is a vigorous woody perennial with a mounding habit and hardy upright stems and lobed deep green foliage with hairy undersides.  The huge, lightly ruffled creamy yellow to white flowers with a dark red center bloom throughout summer into fall attracting butterflies.  The flower color is temperature dependent- yellow in cooler conditions, and white in warm conditions.
