Hibiscus Hawaii T-Shirt

The hibiscus is the flower the whole world recognizes as Hawai'i — a wide flared bloom, a long staminal column, color that looks lit from inside.

The Meaning of the Hibiscus

Hawai'i is home to seven native hibiscus species, of which the yellow ma'o hau hele was named the state flower in 1988. Hibiscus blooms last only a day or two before dropping, which gives the flower its quiet meaning around the islands — beauty in the briefly held. Tradition still floats around hibiscus protocol: worn behind the right ear, it signals "taken"; behind the left, "available." You'll see the bloom tucked into hair at hula performances, in centerpieces at every lūʻau, and lining backyards from Hilo to Hanalei.

For Flower Lovers & Island People

For locals, it's the hedge in your yard, the bloom you pick on the way out the door. For visitors, it's the single flower that came to mean Hawai'i to you — and now travels home with you.
