Description

The Waru Wayang Hibiscus, scientifically known as Hibiscus tiliaceus ‘Tricolor’, is a visually captivating and highly sought-after cultivar of the Sea Hibiscus. The term “Waru Wayang” often refers to its striking, variegated, and sometimes slightly crinkled foliage that resembles the shadow puppets (“wayang”) of Java, where the plant is native. Focusing on a smaller size implies a young plant or one intended for container growth.

Key Characteristics

Foliage: The main draw is the intensely variegated leaves. They are large, heart-shaped, and display a stunning blend of green, cream, white, and significant pink to deep magenta patches, especially on new growth or when exposed to bright sun. This tri-color effect is far more ornamental than the actual hibiscus flower.
Flowers: The plant produces cup-shaped, pale yellow or cream flowers with a maroon throat. These flowers are beautiful but short-lived, typically lasting only a day, often changing to orange or pink before dropping.
Habit (Smaller Size): While the standard tree can grow quite large, the “Smaller Size” is likely a young plant or a dwarf cultivar suitable for pot culture or growing as a dense, manageable shrub. Regular pruning is key to keeping this plant compact and bushy.
Origin: Native to the coastal regions of the Old World tropics and subtropics, it is extremely resilient and tolerant of salt spray and various soil types.

Optimal Care

The Waru Wayang is a fast-growing, sun-loving plant that is quite robust, making it popular in tropical and subtropical landscaping.

Care Aspect	Requirement	Notes
Light	Full Sun (6+ hours) to Partial Sun	Crucial for variegation. The more direct sun it gets, the brighter and more pronounced the pink and white colors become. In deep shade, the variegation often fades to mostly green.
Watering	Moderate to High	Water regularly and deeply to keep the soil consistently moist, especially in hot weather. It tolerates brief dry spells but performs best with reliable moisture.
Soil	Well-Draining, Rich Soil	Prefers loamy, fertile soil that retains some moisture but drains well. Amend with compost or organic matter for best results.
Pruning	Essential	For a “Smaller Size” potted plant, regular pinching and pruning is necessary to maintain shape and encourage dense, colorful new growth.
Temperature	Warm and Frost-Free	Best suited for zones that do not experience freezing temperatures.
