Hibiscus waimeae (Fragrant White Waimea Valley Hibiscus)

200 (450)cm, Fragrant White Waimea Valley Hibiscus (or locally also called "Koki'o ke'o ke'o") is a critically endangered, tall evergreen woody shrub endemic of the Waimea and adjacent valleys in the western and southwestern parts of the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaii, USA. It is one out of few slightly fragrant Hibiscus species which are all endemic to the Hawaiian archipielago. Hibiscus waimeae is very similar to Hibiscus punaluuensis and differs in an overall more compact growth habit, somewhat smaller rounded to broadly ovate leaves and slightly smaller white flowers with significantly broader petals and a shorter, intense reddish pistil. Our seeds are from pure, unhybridized, true-to-type plants. For any rich, well drained substrate in a partially shaded (summer) to sunny (winter) spot at a minimum of some 15°C. VI-X.
