Koki`o `ula  Hibiscus clayi 

Family:  Malvaceae

Description:  This attractive member of the Hibiscus family has a small, pure red flower. This plant is native to Kaua`i and is endangered. Kokio `ula takes well to pruning, but if let untamed will grow in a columnar fashion up to 15 feet tall with a 5 foot spread. Compared to other native hibiscus, this species is slower growing. Moderate watering and full sun and this plant will thrive in mesic conditions. We grow this plant from cuttings of specimens already in cultivation.
