Hibiscus schizopetalus 'Chinese Lantern' is also called 'Japanese Lantern', 'Coral Hibiscus' or 'Fringed Rose Mallow'. Its flowers are usually bright red, rarely pink, but sometimes streaked and variegated. Each flower is produced individually and hangs on a long, thin pedicel from the tips of the stems. The deeply serrated petals ( schizopetalus means “split petal”) are truly recurved and the long stamens hang down. Although very fragile and delicate, each flowering lasts several days, unlike the flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis which last 24 hours. Hibiscus schizopetalus is rather slender and is less shrubby than Hibiscus rosa-sinensis . To have a massive effect, it will be better to have more than one specimen. Schizopetalus is fast growing and has a weeping habit. In its natural environment, it can grow 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.5 meters) tall and wide.

Like all Hibiscus , schizopetalus likes to be grown in full sun with plenty of water and fertilizer for maximum flowering. Hibiscus needs to be watered abundantly as soon as the soil is dry to the touch. It likes to have high relative humidity, so we should think about increasing the humidity level with a humidifier in winter in our homes, where the air becomes dry due to heating. In such situations, it is possible to observe the flower buds falling and see the leaves turning yellow. We recommend taking it out in the summer when the temperature is mild enough and bringing it inside at the end of August at the latest. It will attract pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds. If the Hibiscus schizopetalus become bald or too large, they can be pruned, but keep in mind that pruning will have the effect of delaying flowering.
