Description:

Hibiscus makinoi is a deciduous mallow native to the coastal regions of Japan, particularly the Ryukyu Islands and western Kyushu. It can grow up to 7 feet tall and features large, fuzzy, maple-like leaves. The plant dies back in winter and regrows in spring, producing light pink flowers in early October that attract hummingbirds. Its extract is used in anti-aging creams, adding to its unique appeal.
