    HVH" :'Tahitian Princess' is a special hibiscus in many ways. It blooms prolifically with large, ruffly 7-9" flowers that open with rings of blue, pink and white, then soften to gray and white by the second or third day. The bush is beautiful, upright, with many branches and lush foliage. If you like pastel colors, this hibiscus is one of the best! 'Tahitian Princess' was hybridized by Richard Johnson in Tahiti from parents 'Grand Hyatt' and 'Silver Memories.' Available from HVH in 2011."
