HVH: 'Cindy's Heart' is a very unusual hybrid in the world of exotic hibiscus. It is a 'High Voltage' "self-cross" or self-pollination - a special hybridizing technique of Charles Black.
'Cindy's Heart' has all the excellent qualities of 'High Voltage,' with the same kind of consistency, reliability, and ease of growing that 'High Voltage' has. The flower's color and form are always impeccable.
Its bush is fast-growing, upright, well-branched, and easy to grow. It flowers prolifically, with large 7-9" (18-23 cm) singles in a pink that is so vivid it looks fluorescent, edged with the snowy white of 'High Voltage.' The flowers last for an amazing 4-6 days and do not fade. The vivid color lasts until the flower folds up.
'Cindy's Heart' is one of the few hibiscus hybrids that seems to love heat. The hotter it is, the more flowers the plant will have and the more vivid they will be. Brand new from HVH in 2007."
