Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of winter hardy hibiscus plant named, `Crown Jewels` is the result of a unique hybridization. This new and distinct cultivar is characterized primarily as to its low-growing nature, its extreme cold hardines to Zone 4, its dark purple "maple-cut leaf", its ruffled white flowers with red partially-streaking centers, and its vigorous and uniform growth habit, and its floriforous nature from midsummer until frost.
