A new and distinct cultivar of winter hardy hibiscus plant named ‘Aquarian’ is the result of a unique hybridization. This new and distinct cultivar is characterized primarily as to novelty by, its extreme cold hardiness to Zone 4, large, thick-textured, lavender-pink flowers and its “Spoon-shaped” leaves with a purple cast, compactness of about 3 feet, its vigorous and uniform growth habit, and its floriferous nature from mid-summer until frost.

Hibiscus moscheutos×H. coccineus.
The new plant of this invention is the result of a unique hybridization, with the breeding achievement being evidenced in the outstanding combination of characteristics exhibited by this new and distinct Hibiscus plant, which include:
(a) Refined, “spoon-shaped” leaves which are “Maple-like” with a rounded, rather than an acute middle lobe green with a purple cast, and relatively smooth margins which combined compliments the landscape;
The flower and foliage of the cultivar are shown in the attached photograph. More specifically, the photograph is a close-up of the flower and the leaf.
The colors are as true as is reasonably possible to attain in photographic illustrations of this type. The colors illustrated may be slightly off due to light reflectance.
What follows is a detailed description of the new cultivar. The specific color descriptions are in accordance with The R.H.S. Colour Chart, while general color recitations are consistent with ordinary American color terminology.
‘Aquarian’ has not been observed under all possible environment conditions. It is to be understood that the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however any difference in genotype of the plant. The following botanical characteristics and observations are gathered from the plant when grown in Lincoln, Nebr. (USDA Zone 4).
