Okay, last one from me!

Red Hibiscus, another tender one. I bought seeds from Summerhill seeds in a co-op last winter, germinated quickly. I left them in starter pots for way too long and didn't transplant them until almost July. As you can see, they really take off once you get them in the ground. I have another one that I lopped the top off of when it started looking as gangly at the top and it took it well. It is in a slightly shady area and didn't get half as tall as these in full sun did. I hope the color comes through for you - it is a really pretty maroon.

Booner thought he'd give you a sense of scale - he's a knee-high kind of pup.

So, what did you try this year? Did it work well for you?
