I Morphological difference

1 overall

First of all, there is a certain difference in plant height between the two. Generally speaking, the plant height of big rock Tung is only more than ten to tens of centimeters, while Hibiscus can grow up to five meters and two or three meters shorter. Big rock Tung belongs to herbaceous plants, while Hibiscus belongs to deciduous shrubs and small trees

2. Details

Both of them have fluff, but if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the difference between the two is still obvious. The fluff of the whole branch is white. On hibiscus, only some parts have hair, such as small branches and petioles, which generally show star shaped hair or straight hair

3. Flowers

The flowers are also different in color. The common varieties of big rock Tung flowers are pink, red, purple blue, white and compound color, which are large and colorful. The flower of Hibiscus is white or light red when it just blooms, and then it will turn dark red. This is also a good difference

II Differences in growth habits

Big rock Tung is afraid of low temperature and high temperature. If the temperature is too low in winter, especially when the temperature drops to five degrees Celsius, it will stop growing and then go into dormancy. If the temperature is too high in summer, it will enter a state similar to dormancy when it reaches more than 30 degrees Celsius

Hibiscus, on the other hand, has lower requirements for climate, and as a plant planted in the courtyard, it is not afraid of light. It blooms in late autumn. Although the frost is heavy and the temperature is low, it is still unyielding. Therefore, ancient poets gave it a good reputation called "frost repellent flower" to praise her frost proud character

III Value difference

With emerald leaves, delicate flowers and long flowering time, it is very suitable for decoration. It can be placed indoors or in warm windowsills to beautify the home environment. Hibiscus, in addition to being planted and appreciated as garden plants, also has good medicinal value. Its roots, flowers and leaves are medicinal materials, which can clear the lungs, cool the blood, dissipate heat, and have the effect of detoxification. In addition, the bark of Hibiscus was also a very good fiber in the past. It was used to rub rope and even weave cloth
