I've said it before and it can be said again and again. Josephine is a plant genius. After thinking about it last night I began to look through my pictures of 2005. Sure enough....there it is. A beautiful hibiscus. It bloomed only one flower. Died down that winter and was never seen again......until this week. Guess all the rain has stirred roots that were very, very dormant.
Now, Jo, do I leave it in ground this winter with lots of mulch or should I pot it and bring it in? Also have another hibiscus that has grown quite large and am having the guys plant it in ground today. Brought it in the last two winters. Is there a way to tell if it is tropical or hardy? My mother passed away in March, 1994 and many of these plants I inherited and did not have the good sense to ask her so many things.

That should have been March, 2004. As you can see I'm getting worse all the time.
