About This Plant

Abelmoschus Chief Kubos P (Salad Tree), 'Salad Tree' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.

Aibika / Sunset Hibiscus , tropical leaf vegetable in much of Asia and the Pacific; in PNW grown as a bold-foliage summer annual.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy USDA Zone 9 to 11. Frost-tender; treat as summer annual.

For a Pacific Northwest native tree of similar character, consider Acer macrophyllum (Bigleaf Maple) for canopy, Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood) for spring bloom, or Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone) for evergreen sculpture and red bark.
