  Comments: 
Most full, more specific names tend towards katakana, e.g., シュウカイドウ (秋海棠), but for this more general 海棠 entry people seem to use the kanji a lot too (海棠の育て方). Googits are skewed in favour of the kanji due to some popular anime character having 海棠 in her name though, but even then the kanji version appears more popular.

cf. 海棠の育て方 vs カイドウの育て方
