A Service Provided by Bohn's Farm and Greenhouses

This section of our website is supported by an extensive plant database that we initially developed in 1997.  Since its inception, the Bohn's Farm plant database has continuously and consistantly been supported with updates. The database has offered the foundation of information for publishing 4 editions of the Bohn's Farm Plant Reference Guide in the years 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006. The information presented on our extensive and ever-expanding custom plant tags is also supported by this central database.

The Bohn's Farm plant database is quite dynamic.  We encourage your comments for improving plant information content, accuracy and display format.  This website receives frequent updates as the plant data is updated.

Hibiscus 'Berrylicious SUMMERIFIC'

Hibiscus, Hardy
Improvement over ‘Fantasia’ in flower and habit. Huge 8-9in, mauve lavender blossoms with a deep strawberry red eye have attractively ruffled, overlapping petals. They are produced on all sides of the dense, bushy, rounded clump of thick, bright green, maple-like leaves. This Hibiscus is a very floriferous indeterminate bloomer, so there are buds at many nodes up the stems rather than just at the tips. The result is a much longer season of bloom and flowers that cover all sides of the plant rather than just the top.

Hibiscus 'Sultry Kiss'

Hibiscus 'Summer Storm SUMMERIFIC'

Hibiscus, Hardy
An improvement over 'Kopper King', this hybrid has the darkest wine purple, maple-like foliage we've ever seen on a hardy Hibiscus. As the foliage matures, the number of lobes on each leaf increases. The foliage alone makes this plant a fantastic specimen even before it comes into bloom! (Please note: Like many other purple foliage plants, this one requires direct exposure to UV light to develop the deep purple coloring. Plants coming from a greenhouse may be green until they are brought outside into the sun.) This plant produces large 8-10 inch, pink flowers with rose veining and a deep magenta eye that radiates out onto the petals. Free-flowering from mid-July to October. This is partially due to the fact that this Hibiscus has "indeterminate" buds v. "determinate" buds. Flower buds are produced at the nodes along much of the stem as well as at the tips. That means more flowers for a longer time period.
Hibiscus 'Summer Storm SUMMERIFIC'
