Thanks to all for rooting comments re: Kopper King Rose Mallow Hibiscus. Shown is my shocking first bloom, 8 inches across! Thought I had let 2 plants die, bought 8/08 and never planted. Very rootbound, just sticks, but when I made a lean-to winter shelter for potted plants, I put them in there too. Was shocked a few months ago to see leaves sprouted on both. I planted them, and both have many buds on them though plants are only 2 1/2 feet tall. The tag that came in pots said plant in moisture retentive soil, and give regular deep waterings. I set my Miracle Gro feeder on the ground by plant, set it at a trickle, and leave there to saturate ground. The second bloom that opened 2 days later was 7 inches across. The tag says blooms can be as large as 12 inches! Catty1
