Plant History

Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) has been cultivated for centuries and is believed to have originated in tropical Asia. It eventually spread throughout tropical and subtropical regions through international trade, plant collecting, and commercial nursery production.

Hibiscus entered Florida’s landscape industry as an imported ornamental plant and was being grown in the state by the early 1900s. There is no reliable record establishing the exact year it first arrived in Orlando. It became popular in Central Florida through the nursery trade because the region’s warm climate and long growing season allow it to bloom for much of the year. Today, Hibiscus is one of the most recognizable flowering shrubs in Orlando-area tropical landscapes.

The University of Florida identifies Tropical Hibiscus as a tropical Asian ornamental suitable for recommendation throughout Florida and not currently considered a problem species. University of Florida IFAS
