Early last summer, I traded with a girl in Florida for 3 sprigs of her hibiscus...that she says is Blue Satin purchased from Park Seed.

Of the 3 twigs....one rooted..put out a few leaves but did nothing else all summer.

It was one of the few special plants that I moved inside the house for the winter. All this time I had zero new growth. About 3 weeks ago, I noticed that the few leaves had fell off.

I thought well....its dormant or dead...probably dead. I set the pot on the bottom self to put outside later.

The next day...I had mixed up a little messenger to spray on my Maya brug cutting so I doused the hibiscus cutting also.

Now look at it !!
