A new and distinct cultivar of winter hardy Hibiscus plant named ‘Snowflame’ is the result of a unique hybridization. This new and distinct cultivar is characterized primarily as to its novelty by its extreme cold hardiness to Zone 4, its large thick-textured, light red flowers with white reverse and its “Maple-shaped” leaves with a red-dish-green coloration, compactness of about 3 feet, its vigorous and uniform growth habit and its floriferous nature from midsummer until frost.

The invention claimed is:
