"White Hot" 1-10-23

Hibiscus

"In summer heat, the 6-8" single flowers of 'White Hot' are vivid yellow and orange with a large white eye. In the cooler spring and fall weather, the flowers are bright red with smaller yellow markings and the same large white eye. The bush of 'White Hot' is large, vigorous, very lush, and a great bloomer. The parents are 'Saffron' and 'Some Like it Hot.' 'White Hot' combines the markings of both parents in one flower, but has the far superior bush of mother 'Saffron.' If you like either of these parents, you should love this new seedling! Released from HVH in January 2013. Hybridizer: C. Black'

*************************

To me, "White Hot" looks more like its mother "Saffron" https://pbase.com/britestar/image/172984926 when grown indoors in Winter. However, I do see just a hint of the yellow (from its father "Some Like It Hot") near the white center in "White Hot". If "White Hot" survives the Winter, we'll see what she does this coming Summer. It would be nice to see more yellow markings.
