In the Biltmore Estate Gardens, the hibiscus stands out as a breathtaking focal point among the estate’s meticulously curated floral displays. Nestled among lush greenery and historic landscapes, these large, velvety blooms add a bold splash of color to the Walled Garden, Italian Garden, and Conservatory.
