In reality, the \u003cstrong\u003ehibiscus plant\u003c\/strong\u003e had been imported from Asia, and today there is a consensus that Hibiscus syriacus is native to the Far East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea, depicted on the national emblem since 1963. South Korea's national anthem mentions this flower as a symbol of the Nation itself: the Korean name of the plant refers directly to the word \u003cem\u003emugung\u003c\/em\u003e, which means \"eternity\" or \"inexhaustible abundance\". For this reason, the country's presidential emblem features the \u003cstrong\u003ehibiscus flower\u003c\/strong\u003e flanked by two phoenixes, symbols of rebirth and therefore of eternal life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BotanicalDryGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39790058930344,"sku":"","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0727\/2104\/products\/Hybiscus-syriacus-vaso.png?v=1619709727","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicaldrygarden.com\/en-be\/products\/hibiscus-syriacus","provider":"BotanicalDryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
