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

Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from ten to twelve inches in diameter that are white, with medium pink (Red-Purple Group 68A) at the margins extending into the petal about one to two inches before fading out, with 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:  
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of  Hibiscus moscheutos  plant, as herein shown and described.
