My most favorite flowers. I live between houston and galveston so there are many to choose from for sure. Love the large blooms.

[@markstevenson9080]

I found some at Lowe's at the end of the season at 75% off and just kept them in my room with no water. All are alive! Thanks again! Now I am hooked. ha!

[@itsmewende]

Aww Hibiscus, 1 of my mom's faves, they grow wild in the marshs here on Maryland's eastern shore, wish I could share a photo. The wild pink are fabulous, I'm always thinking I'll dig some up one day. Yours are Beautiful....Thanks for the info shared in this video.

[@aexiga87]

Awesome! We recently moved to our new home. The previous owners had 3 different types of a hisbiscus. I’m pretty new to the gardening world, so I’m learning lots of great tips with the gardening KZbin community.

[@greengardeningwithmallika]

very nice

[@bayboat65]

I live at the Jersey Shore(USA). I have one in full sun, sandy soil, never fertilize and rarely water unless we have 7+ days of no rain. It is always huge (5 feet tall and 6 feet across) and during this time of year (late July) it puts on a fantastic show! In the winter i cut it right down to the ground and wait for May for it to start again. Its always the last perennial to shoot up. For me it is also somewhat invasive

[@bayboat65]

Invasive. I have to dig up new shoots every year from where the seed pods dropped and are growing new bushes.

[@ydoyougarden]

Do you have the Hibiscus moscheutos? I never heard of them seed aggressively. The Hibiscus syriacus does tho

[@bayboat65]

@@ydoyougarden im not sure of the specific species

[@MariaSantoy-p6r]

I learned a lot about hibiscus on this video. Thank you

[@judithjohnson2111]

Huge flowers. Very pretty. Think I need one in my garden.thanks😊

[@ydoyougarden]

Yes you do! 😁

[@lindalagarce8996]

I planted two in my garden this past summer not knowing how well they would do in my hot Texas zone 8b but they loved my soil! I guess I need to plan to move them since they do get so much bigger than I had originally knew. Thank you so much for the information, I also used need oil on all my flowers including my hibiscus so I will be needing to Shane that as well, thank you for information! Hugs and love from Texas!

[@ydoyougarden]

That is awesome!

[@iartistdotme]

I had a major white fly infestation and bought some Neem oil on-line. None available locally. Since the backs of the leaves were TOTALLY covered in white flies and I had to wait for the mail order, I used a strong water spray to wash them off and it worked beautifully. I just did it twice and the flies disappeared. I had tried DAWN detergent but that was a fail. I actually cut the lower branches off in order to provide sun to the herbs I had underneath. Looks more like a tree than a shrub and is 7 ' tall! Gorgeous and I will always keep in the in herb garden to provide shade AND to snack on daily. The flowers are DELICIOUS! Can't say enough about hibiscus. Mine is purple and may be a rose of sharon but I know others that call it an Althea. Thanks for an informative video.

[@ydoyougarden]

Wow, that is so interesting!

[@emunahv2421]

OMG!!! They are so easy to grow!!!! After watching your vid, I am going to buy 2!!!!!

[@viviangerard459]

i cut all the stems back when i bring it in the garage for winter i love it

[@tonimariegarcia5772]

Beautiful.......I have a Midnight Marvel hardy hibiscus plant in a planter on our deck. I cut the blossoms and boil the petals in water for 10 minutes to make an herbal tea called Jamaica. After cooled, I add a squeeze of lime juice and a couple drops of liquid stevia for sweetener, and this makes the most beautiful and tasty summer tea.

[@kandycelewis9267]

Hi! I have the same ones in zone 8b. What has your die back been like and should I worry? Should I cut them back?

[@moniquegebeline4350]

I’m in zone 9 mine grow in straight clay around my pool. I also have some in the front. My biggest pest on them is Japanese beetles. I do the same and give them a top dress of compost. They like it very warm, mine begin to bloom around June-July when the temps are above 80-85 and higher. If you sacrifice your first set of buds and give them a pruning they will branch out and put on double and triple the amount of buds. I cut mine back in November before frost (we only get a handful of light frosts here) and leave about 2 inches of stems which turn woody- but helps me ID where they are planted. I mulch them also which helps retain moisture. This year I’m putting everything in irrigation.

[@ydoyougarden]

We have Japanese beetles big time. Gah!

[@billmoore6688]

[@kyrad6543]

I love hardy hibiscus. I have Luna Red, Peppermint Schnapps (which has blooms that are about 12" across), and Plum Crazy. I did have a white one but it didn't come back one year. Talk about a "wow" factor. The blooms are incredible. One other great thing is they bloom later in the summer when many other flowers are done. My tortoise loves to eat the blooms. I wish I had room for more actually. But they want a lot of space.

[@TonyaA7]

I wanna get some hardy ones. So far all I've come across is tropical. But tropical ones thrive in zone 10 and im in zone 9.

Thank you i just planted my first in the Spring. I am in Pa. It took a while to start it was really small when i got it. Almost gave up on it and now it is beautiful about 3 ft at most but budding like crazy. It is in a wetter spot full sun though. I will definitely get another next yr. Your info was very helpful. Mine is the first one u showed i cant remember name u said. Only problem i am noticing many small holes on leaves like u described. I think i will wait to do anything now since its late in season. Hope that is not a mistake. Saving this video for next yr to refer too. Happy gardening. We had a terribly wet and hotter than usual summer here.

[@ydoyougarden]

Watch out for holes, definitely insect damage. They can totally decimate the plant

[@tipea3770]

I use neem oil on my hibiscus, and only neem oil water and dish soap, it works me been using it for more than 2 years now.

[@jackiesplanthaven]

I was surprised that neem oil was not recommended. I find it to be really helpful too.

[@emend1092]

What is need oil used for?

[@lorishelton1943]

Do you spray the entire plant OR just soil surrounding it?

[@margesiedlecki917]

I had a terrible problem with sawflies here in Michigan until I started using Bayer Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed. Problem solved. Thank you for sharing your information and beautiful hibiscus. Love ya!

[@bkrbkrl]

That is a systemic. It will get into the pollen and nectar of the plant and damage bees and butterflies. Please consider not using systemics on flowering plants at all.

[@edhiggins8865]

Yes, Bayer Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed is a fabulous product! I use it on many of my hardy hibiscus, perennials, roses, shrubs!

[@pollinateordie6399]

Gotta love hardy hibiscus. I have a Midnight Marvel, and a Mars Madness which are very similar plants. Both have burgundy foliage. Mine are in full sun but they don't have any more blooms than yours seem to.

[@luckychicav7981]

[@susanallen8214]

Thank you so much! This year, lots of little white or grey mites on my large potted hibiscus! And I used neem oil spray a few times and also few few blooms this year. (But its on my twisted trunk hibiscus tree. ) not sure how different that variety is from hardy hibiscus planted in ground.

Hello , where we are in Australia we don’t have a cold winter ( frosts, snow ) so our Hibiscus 🌺 don’t die in the cooler months , they grow all year around 🇦🇺👌👒🧤🌱

That's so great Karen! Is that the tropical hibiscus? There are so many different species, some require cold to bloom and some are tropical like yours 😁😊

[@karenhart4316]

Y Garden All varieties of hibiscus 🌺 we can grow almost anything other than plants that don’t survive on the coast ; even veg practically all year round as our climate allows us too ; I’m up on the mid north coast of NSW ; we do have seasonal , annuals and perennials though but mostly all year round ( Port Macquarie is my home ) surrounded by several beaches ; bush land and the habitat of the Koala ; as you would have heard of all the devastating fires we had and lost thousands of native animals and birds in that Terrifying time ; Love to garden and love your videos so thank you so much look forward to more of them 🇦🇺🥰🧤👒🌱🌺🐝🐨

[@mistylambert49]

Didn’t know that about Neem oil on hibiscus. I had relentless spider mites across my garden last year and was trying neem oil for control. This explains the sad flowering in my hibiscus!

[@Brandon-yr3nj]

Early spring bulbs are great to plant around hibiscus; by the time it breaks dormancy all of the bulbs are done blooming.

Plus educating me on what I should use will save me tons of frustration. I LOVE that gorgeous "Heart Throb" variety.

[@contestwill1556]

thanks for your video. I got a really small/young perennial hibiscus a few months ago and put it in a large container for this season. I'm a little nervous about transplanting and not sure when to do it, but I know it's going to need more space next year. it had sawflies too but I caught them very early and picked the larvae off a few times, easy for a small plant not so much big ones like yours. between that and the heat wave no pest issues (hopefully)

[@sherreeherdman8298]

We live in a cold climate with snow every winter and they do just fine. At the end of the summer they will start to die back. Prune them off about an inch above ground level and wait until spring. They will grow back again getting wider every year. They LOVE sun. If you have them in pots they need to be insulated from the weather in winter but need no help if they are in the ground.

[@karinadsouza4929]

I’m in Ontario Canada Zone 3 with snowy winters reaching -25°C. I do not cut back the stems until after the danger of the last frost, to avoid root rot, because the stems are hollow. Once I begin to see new growth by mid-May, I cut last year’s woody stems back to ground level. Happy gardening 🤗

Hello. Our hibiscus were infested with fly/worms that create white fuzz underneath the leaves. We tried several methods including dish soap and agricultural oil. Nothing helped. We finally trimmed them all the way down to the stumps to start over again. You mentioned something that would work in this video, but I couldn't understand what you said. I switched on the CC, but it gave some other word that didn't make sense. So, what is it that you recommend to rid these pest from hibiscus?

[@ydoyougarden]

[@nappynew]

Are you kidding -- not enough blooms!!!! Wowzers!!! You have a great collection of Hibiscus. I have pink and red in full sun and don't get as many as I see on yours. Based on your tips it's probably because I don't give them enough water -- they are in an island where it's hard to put a soaker hose for fear of the lawn mower running over it -- been there done that! And the tip on giving the compost 2" in the spring was good. Will have to remember that! Had the Cherry Cheesecake at one time but I don't know what happened to it. Oh -- one more thing -- is Snow Queen Hibiscus hardy? Thanks.
