    HVH: "Giant hibiscus 'Cheerful Heart' will brighten anyone's day with its huge 8-10" ruffly yellow singles with a soft red eye that softly blends into the yellow. 'Cheerful Heart' is the child of two giant hibiscus 'Moonstruck' and 'Strawberry Cream.'

    The bush is upright and pretty, and easily holds up the giant flowers. Released from HVH in 2011."
