Beginner Gardening: Hardy Hibiscus trouble, 1 by Gitagal

Sara,

I have 2 different kinds of Hardy Hibiscus growing. The latest one was the new "Kopper King" Hardy Hibiscus. It has HUGE flowers tinged with deep pink. I planted one on the east side and one on the west side of my house. Both get good sun. 2006 was their second year in my garden. They both bloomed but only a few flowers. The one on the West side made one seed pod.

When I cut mine back in the Fall, I leave a part of the stem sticking up so I will know next year where the plant is. No need to cut it flush. Hibiscus start growing very late in the season--like end of July.

I bought mine at HD. Just FYI--HD guarantees all it's plants for a full year, but you need to have your receipt to get a refund. They carry almost everything you would ever want.

Here's the tag from the plant.
