From retired plant breeder Dr. Moy at the San Antonio Botanic Gardens. H. 'Moy Grande' boasts one of the largest flowers seen on a hardy hibiscus, reaching sizes in excess of 1' across when grown in rich moist soils. Dozens of the giant, bright, rosy blue-red flowers adorn the 5' tall x 5' wide clump each day from midsummer until early fall.
