Description

The hibiscus flower is a vibrant tropical bloom known for its large, trumpet-shaped petals and striking colors. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and thrives in warm, sunny climates. The flower typically measures between 4 to 8 inches in diameter and displays a wide range of colors, including red, pink, yellow, orange, white, and purple.

Hibiscus plants are either shrubs or small trees, characterized by glossy green leaves and a prominent central staminal column that gives the flower its distinctive appearance. The plant blooms abundantly in tropical and subtropical regions and is widely cultivated for ornamental, medicinal, and commercial purposes.

The dried hibiscus petals, often known as Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), are used in the production of herbal teas, beverages, and natural dyes. Hibiscus tea, renowned for its deep red color and tangy flavor, is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, contributing to heart health, blood pressure regulation, and immune support.

Hibiscus is also valued in cosmetics and traditional medicine, where it is used for skin treatments, hair care, and various therapeutic applications. Its beauty, versatility, and health benefits make it one of the most cherished tropical flowers worldwide.
