Hardy yellow hibiscus - Talipariti hamabo (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Flower, Images)

Hardy yellow hibiscus

Hardy yellow hibiscus is a deciduous shrub with blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Because it grows in salt marsh settings, the Japanese common name (hama-bou) may be derived from 'hama-hau,' which means 'beach prostrating.' It is grown in Japan for both fiber and ornamental purposes. Rope is created from the strong fiber taken from the tree's bark.
