    HVH: "'Sea of Tranquility' blooms with luminescent 6-8" soft blue and yellow single flowers that glow like the lunar Sea of Tranquility. The flowers open in a dark blue with a brown edge that softens to the softer blue and yellow. Its parents are the well known hibiscus varieties 'Crème de Cacao' and 'Moon Madness.'

    The bush is upright, well branched, medium-sized, and easy to grow. Released from HVH in 2010."
