Ruby,

I have a Kopper King Hibiscus in this tiny bed up against my house. Full Morning sun until about 3PM. This Hibiscus grows amazingly tall! Easily over 6' and has the hugest blooms!
WHY it likes it in this bed--I don't know.
I bought 2 of them at the same time. The other one got planted on the west side of the house in front of my climbing Rose "Autumn Sunset". This Hibiscus, along with another perennial hibiscus at the other end of the bed, as well as one of my Daturas all had that weird mosaic virus (or whatever) that deformed their leaves and blooms. Do you remember me posting about it last Summer?
Anyway--the Kopper King Hibiscus on the West side never came up this summer. DEAD!
The tall, perennial hibiscus at the other end is doing great and blooming away. Go figure!

Here's my KK Hib. just now.....
