    Description

    Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cairo Red' is a bold and beautiful tropical evergreen shrub celebrated for its large, single bright red blooms set against lush, glossy dark green foliage. These vibrant red flowers appear abundantly from summer through to autumn (and into warmer winters), making this variety a showstopper in any garden or container display.

    With a naturally rounded growth habit, it works wonderfully as a feature plant, hedging, or flowering screen. It thrives in sunny, warm, sheltered positions, preferring well‑drained soil rich in organic matter. Frost protection is recommended in cooler regions. Regular pruning after flowering and fertiliser support help maintain its shape and boost bloom production.
