"OK Corral" 2022

Hibiscus

The flower of "OK Corral" is a large 7-9" red single with a yellow edge. The parents of 'OK Corral' are 'Rainbow Sherbet' and 'Hot Pepper.' The bush is medium sized, upright, and very pretty. 'OK Corral' is a great bloomer on a large, vigorous, fast-growing, tall, lush bush. Released from HVH in 2013. Hybridizer: C. Black

"OK Corral" and "Venetian Pepper" https://pbase.com/britestar/image/172900650 share a parent. Although they do look different, you can also see a strong resemblance; especially in coloring.

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

The plant was new to me this Spring, and this was its first blooming. Since I will be growing this as a houseplant during the colder months, I wonder how tall it will get in a pot. The hybridizer description gives two different indications of the bush's eventual size. Either way, I plan to do a hard prune when I bring it indoors.
