New Addition

Irving, TX(Zone 8a)

I thought I got a real deal while out shopping yesterday, I believe it probably is a Tropical. All the tag said was Patio Performer Hibiscus. Maybe someone can tell it's name, I was really hoping to get a couple that I could keep in the ground but this does say on the tag to bring in if temps. drop below 50 so that went that. The only other Hibiscus I have is two Rose of Sharon Tree's and have wanted a Hibiscus for soooo long, and I think now I am hooked and need more. I did try to grow some from seed this last spring but not one came up but I don't have too much luck with starting from seed..
Thanks all

Thanks Tazzy, thats what I was afraid of, when I bought them I really didn't look very good at the tag and was hoping it was a hardy but still I couldn't pass up on the price under 5.00. It is still small so this winter it's still small enough and maybe soon I will have a greenhouse to put them in.

We built one last year ,
But Gas AND Elec. both raised this month so don't know if i can afford to heat it . Going to try rocks and water there suppose to hold day time heat some ?Maybe they will make it in green house ?

whow, I like so very pretty..Sounds interesting way to heat, but I am stilltrying to get hubby to build me a small one just to keep my plants in for winter since I don't have much space to bring them in.

well I thought the second bud looked different from the one I posted earlier, but when I came home tonight from work this was what I found on the same plant..I can say I haven't seen different colors on the same plant..I was excited..I wonder what other colors I may find..
