Caleb is so cute starting the holes for Aaron. I did have a giggle when he almost got Laura with the dirt. Well done for helping little man. Beautiful flowers Laura.

[@GardeningSpirit]

oh my goodness for a tiny fraction of a second i was like "whoah when did Benjamin get so big?" @3:03

[@Squirrelfriends22]

Me too!

[@kathymason1979]

I thought the same thing!

[@whitfieldscott7135]

Caleb made me belly laugh when he accidentally (😂😂😂) tossed that dirt in your direction. Your face was priceless! Go Cabe!!!! / Peggy Lee on Dad's cellphone luv u Daddy xo

[@andrewthorne6653]

I laughed too fantastic

[@suethomas6877]

Whitfield, I also giggled when Caleb accidentally flicked the dirt Laura’s way 😄

[@nancygrams9784]

I have a hibiscus that a client gave me 20 years ago and it still beautiful. The easiest plant I have ever grown. We live in Nebraska so it gets some pretty harsh winters. You and Aaron make a great team, love watching you everyday!

[@mummyoli6626]

Oh Laura, you are so intelligent bless you. I'm learning SO MUCH from you. You should have seen my garden before (absolutely bare) and see it now (flowers everywhere) thank you so much.

[@dianajean4837]

GREAT job Caleb !!!!

[@Candylandavenue1]

Caleb is such a sweet little boy!!! Awwww that was precious of him!! 🥺😊 I love to see when kids love gardening!! The hibiscus are gorgeous!!!

[@elisemo6038]

My aunt bought me a Pink Lady Hibiscus 2 years ago, and it is my absolute favorite plant. I cannot wait until I live in a more permanent location and can plant it in the ground. I will have to check these plants out!

[@fayebradford5763]

These are called hearty hibiscus! The winter frost kills them to the ground and you cut away the dead limbs and they cone back every late spring! Mine are back and beautiful!

[@joyces.9021]

Hats off to your enthusiastic digging helper! Love having kids in the garden!

[@phyllisroark8526]

I saw a man down the street last year cut his back almost to the ground. I was in shock! They have came back so pretty. I may think again about this plant. I keep saying no cause everyone has them here in my area. I want something different. Tell your friend thanks for letting you and Aaron share her garden with us!

[@msroro3127]

Phyllis, I had some a few years ago in yellow. I let them get ulgy looking in the winter and didn’t deadhead. Then in March I cut them to the ground and by summer they were back in full force. They grew will over 5ft’. Now I’m going to get more to make a hedge around my utility box. Love them and they are my favorite tropical plant.

[@jeraldpangan6893]

Good evening, it's evening here in the Philippines whenever i tune in, Christmas feels with those red and green hibiscus, gorgeous blooms, and in our tropical country we call hibiscus as "gumamela". Children mashed the blooms with liquid soap to make bubbles. lol to the flying dust with your little gardener.

[@ammegemmac7997]

I made it a gumamela jelly before

[@pricklypine8863]

Same

[@JekrisMaravilla]

haha. o di kaya ilagay sa tenga ala marimar. hahaha! 😁 natawa dn ako dun sa bata. 😁😁😁

[@jodiduncan5971]

I like it when you do videos highlighting single plants. Allows me to focus my attention and consider a single plant and whether or not it would be suitable for my garden.

[@LB-vl3qn]

HIbiscus always remind me of my childhood. We had one growing in a big container by the pool and every summer I would wait for it to put on its show. Seemed like it took forever, with the hydrangeas nearby already in full bloom. They certainly make up for lost time. Looks like your little helper needs his own auger. ~ Lisa

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Getting children involved in gardening is so important. Great film as usual!

[@TheeChocolateGoddess]

My neighbor has the same ones that you have in your yard. They are so beautiful. I get so much joy out of their bush! And for anyone else reading my comment - these plants are tough! I am in North Texas where the heat from Hades controls our summertime temps. There is no drip or sprinkler system where the plant lives and it THRIVES!!! It's cut down to a few inches above the base in the winter - only to grow as tall as me each year & I'm 5'4".

[@pambuehler6402]

Those blooms are enormous and so very beautiful!

[@DCT14]

Love Caleb pitching into help. So cute! The flowers are beautiful too🌺

[@willothewispl]

My goodness, I was driving in a different part of my town the other day. And the side of this one home was just surrounded by those dark red hibiscus bushes. It was fabulous. I have never seen anything that beautiful in a yard. It just lit up the whole block. Good Bless.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Each of the blooms look like it is the size of a large plate. The deep dark red is stunning!

[@barbaraseals6741]

I love to watch you do all that you do with those plants an everything about all that georgous scenery ❤️👍

[@janined8685]

You have said before that planting flowers and shrubs for family and friends is one of your favorite things. Being outside in the fresh air planting hibiscus with your friends’ son helping has to make your and Aaron’s day! And Caleb’s! Gorgeous blooms. I am especially fond of the pink flowers in your garden.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Those augers are just magical. Must make planning so much more fun.

[@Graycat1735]

I just love your videos! You guys (yal) go the extra mile in editing and showing things like how your own hibiscus is doing after a few seasons. They (the videos) are so very informative, inspirational, and entertaining! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into them! The dirt toward your face was so funny! The little guy helping was precious.

[@carolbeatty2468]

Oh my gosh such beautiful plants for my coffee with Laura this morning! You had such a good helper in digging the holes and that is so neat the Caleb loves to garden. I can see you and Benjamin in a couple more years out planting together. I absolutely love hibiscus and fell in love with them when I lived on the island of Kauai for a few years. I am so excited to get some of these for the playground next year (hopefully) as I think the children will enjoy them. I found a small plant at a Lowes and brought it home only to discover that squirrels love the blossoms and they ate all the buds off!!!! So I am now trying to protect it from the squirrels so it will bloom again LOL

[@lincolnbuttigieg4613]

good morning🌻🌞🌸

[@ricklandry1593]

I'm so thrilled it's a zone 4!!! Im in a zone 3b however, I will def attempt to grow one. Ty

[@mindymoto1]

I LOOOVE the Evening Rose Hibiscus!!

[@judithjohnson2111]

I'm going to have to add a few to my gardens. Been seeing them everywhere & they are stunning. 💞

[@liarossi123]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing these amazing plants with us! 🌸🌸🌸

[@lindacacioppo9665]

Love seeing the different colors of Hibiscus

[@caribbeanspice1693]

Wow those are stunning. 🤩🌱

[@pragueinbloom1110]

Wow, those blooms are huge! I especially like the dark leafed variety, that looks so unusual and exotic to me!

[@nikkikoz4720]

You just made my heart so happy. Florida girl living in 5b now and I missed hibiscus so much. These are going in my garden

[@francystitches6424]

That little boy is adorable!

[@Elizabeth-rp1pi]

I have 3 of these, one more amazing than the next! The first year I was certain they had not made it through the winter! They really do show up last of all perennial plants, but the show is worth the wait!

[@cutazabutton]

That is one amazing hibiscus

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! OMGolly those are beautiful! I love how big the flowers get. The red ones are pretty, but I like the pink ones you have better. What a nice thing for you to do for your friends! Caleb was so cute trying to help! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@christopherandericfeml-nel6825]

I've had great luck with pruning our Berry Awesome back in the Spring - not Fall - and pinching back the new growth when it's about 8-10 inches tall to encourage branching/more blooms. The only pest I've encountered on my hibiscus is a hibiscus sawfly... They do a decent amount of damage if left unchecked, but the PW hibiscus is super strong and hardy and can stand up to a bit of chewing. Overall this is absolutely one of the best perennials in my garden! Zone 5b, NY!

[@emilykiesling2315]

I had the same problem with those little pest , so what I did was after I washed my dishes I threw the rest of the dish water over the plant and it really kept those pest away , I haven’t seen any pest on them in awhile. It worked for me.

[@rdarrett3635]

Maybe that is what I have! I wake up each morning and see more damage but I don’t see any Japanese beetles. Are they tiny little caterpillars on the back of the leaf?

[@christopherandericfeml-nel6825]

R Darrett, The ones I have seen on my hibiscus are green and hang out on top of the leaves... They blend in pretty well...

[@GlutenFreeCooking123]

Who in their right mind would thumb down your video? I love your videos, and you have been such a great inspiration to me. 4 years ago we bought our house where the land has been completely left wild, and now I am trying to tame it and turn it into a beautiful garden.

[@ronwheeler8590]

Love it. I planted Hibiscus for the first time this year and love it. Cant wait for the coming years!

[@deannededemarievogel-hampt9954]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! What amazing flowers. Can these grow and bloom in containers? Oh, I hope so. Thank you so much for introducing me to another amazing plant. Great job to Caleb. God bless you all.

[@guyanesegyalgarden8656]

Good morning hun💕you’re so amazing! Love hibiscus 🌺 I have some tropical ones the bloom all summer but only thing I have to take them inside for winter🌺🌺🌺

[@joannerobinson4037]

Beautiful! I have a Summerific Coco Cherry Hibiscus and it looks gorgeous at the moment. It's full of enormous pink blooms and I have it under-planted with some grasses...looks really pretty. So sweet of Caleb to help you out. I too think it's wonderful when kids show an interest in gardening and want to help out in some way.

[@MsShar266]

Perfect timing, I just found, bought and planted a Summerific Cherry Choco Latte here in Florida Zone 9B. I was so excited and can't wait to see how this performs throughout the year here.

[@kimberlycosgrove5947]

I just planted some of your “Summerific Berry Awesome” hibiscus, yesterday! I can’t wait to see the blooms 🌺

[@TheresAGirlInTheGardens]

So cute with the child helping 🥰

[@cinziadeluca5074]

I don't generally like red flowers but this deep red colour is pretty and WOW, those blooms with the dark leaves!!!! Gorgeous!

[@truthofthematter9409]

The Summerific have lighter colors too. I planted a Summerific Perfect Storm Hibiscus and a Summerific Choco Latte Hibiscus this spring and they are gorgeous. One is more light pink, white striations and deep red throated and the other is more white with light pink striations and a deep red throat. The show they're still putting on is no disappointment!

[@cinziadeluca5074]

@@truthofthematter9409 I definitely have to try and get them in Australia this coming spring / summer.

[@cinziadeluca5074]

@Mo Lansing it would be so nice to share pictures in the comment section. I would actually love to see your garden. I LOVE red roses to be honest and I have a few but red flowers just stick out like a sore thumb in my garden against my house. I actually wear a lot of red clothing too. Maybe I need to rethink the red. 😀

[@13dulcie]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I thought my hibiscus was dead. I can't wait for it to start to grow and Bloom. Thanks for putting this out today💗

[@botanicalbloke2586]

Absolutely love the Holy Grail. We bought one bare root in May and were a bit worried. But, as you mentioned, it sprang to life in July with new blooms every morning. Love how you planted in groupings. We’ll have to try that. 😊

[@sueprovostwilliams3824]

I just planted the berry awesome yesterday. So excited to know it will get that huge!

[@sharonpillay9817]

Hi Laura, the colours of those hibiscus flowers are just gorgeous, even the leaves are beautiful. We in South Africa take the hibiscus plants for granted because they are a very common plant in our gardens and the flowers are not so big like yours are. Even the foliage is beautiful, I would like for my garden to be beautiful like yours one day. Congratulations on your second pregnancy.

[@klattin1501]

I bought our first hibiscus this spring. Now that it is in full bloom, I am in love and want more....i really liked your grouping idea. Thank you for my daily inspiration♥️

[@Li-Anderson]

Thank you for the beautiful hibiscus content.🌺 The location is perfect. I look forward to blooming of these plants, this time of year😊

[@todddearden6844]

I LOVE my hibiscus, thanks for this video, gave me two new plants to try out.

[@cynthiamoore4289]

Laura, you are looking especially radiant and your hair is beautiful! At the end when the sun hit at just the right angle; it was majestic. You are always pretty, this was just perfect though👌

[@carolpope1145]

Loved your little helper. Such beautiful plants

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Those hibiscus are so pretty! I have one that is small but it is growing! I won't have flowers this year but maybe next year! I also love seeing children get excited about gardening!! 🤗🤞😊🌺🌺❤💚

[@deannasilva8891]

Wow, such a beautiful flower!

[@chuckdunham1340]

I was so inspired and excited learning about hardy hibiscus from your video that I ordered 4 plants today (Summerific Berry Awesome)! I thought hibiscus was only tropical and never considered it for my yard in the western NC mountains. Can’t wait for them to arrive and plant them in the front of my home! Thank you SO much for all of your wonderful gardening videos!

[@robinrummel1359]

Beautiful plants, beautiful heart sharing plants with friends! I see Benjamin doing the same thing in a few years. 😀💖👍

[@SurferGirlAllAroundTheWorld]

Ok, that whole Benjamin part was more worth it than the whole video lol! And I say that with much love and respect because the whole video was lovely to watch. Benjamin was just lovelier. 🥰🌺 Hibiscus and plumerias are my favourites.

[@pricedesign8805]

Beautiful plants & I liked Caleb trying to help

[@cherigreen4471]

I have pink ones that I planted 10 yrs ago. Mine are just about to bloom and can't wait. After watching your videos I think I will get some more and love the dark colored foliage on yours. I like your cute assistant (the little one), love Aaron too!

[@trinasaussiegarden244]

Wow that auger is really a game changer! I have the 4” but haven’t used it yet and looking forward to having the bigger one because I have some trees to plant. Those hibiscus are beautiful!

[@vickieandrews5709]

Hibiscus are one of my very favorite plants.

[@KarlasTinyWorld]

That’s such a pretty Hibiscus! I would love to have one! I love how you don’t plant red flowers in your own garden but when you’re doing someone else, you go ahead and add it 😅

[@ShantJohns]

Thank you for posting about this plant. I been wanting to know what these were. I see them a lot in my neighborhood.

[@julesl7679]

Oh my goodness those are beautiful.

[@vanik816]

Beautiful and vibrant hibiscus 🌺 plants . We have very small space in front of the home . Looks like they grow huge and we need to find a spot in the backyard. Looking forward to plant Hibiscus 🌸. Your videos are beautiful and inspirational. Watching your videos are relaxing and also gaining lot of gardening knowledge. Learning many beautiful flowering plants names as well which I didn’t knew before . Thank you 🙏 and Aaron for all the effort you put in making these wonderful videos .

[@emilykiesling2315]

Love the color of those Hibiscus! Looks great 👍

[@initybl]

Loving the music!! I’ve rewatched the middles section of the video 4 just to hear it the song again!! ☺️🎶💃

[@vehuko]

Loved the video, what a gorgeous color combination of dark leaves and flower! Please show more of the landscape around the plant in question for design inspiration.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

All of the Hibiscus varieties that you showcased today are gorgeous! I purchased one called Starry Starry Night, it's a PW plant that has the dark foliage with cherry and white blooms. I need to get it planted this week. We are experiencing beautiful weather here for zone 5a, it's in the low to mid 80's, but unfortunately, no rain. Your helpers are both so sweet, yep Aaron, I was talking about you and your friend's son. 🌸 🌺 💪

[@sheilamontoya5546]

Just beautiful. Thank you for a pretty video to wake up to☺

[@JenaTuckerAquariums]

Perfect timing! My Mom gave me some hibiscus seeds. Can't wait until I can plant them next year 😃!

[@carolannspence8057]

I planted a Swamp rose hibiscus with pink flowers and it’s doing very well in full sun. I love the deep red hibiscus you planted ❤️

[@heatherjohnson1608]

I always tend to think hibiscus is a tropical plant! So when I saw it at the garden cent this spring I thought they were losing there minds!! Nope it's just me. I read the tag and I can even grow them in my zone 4a! I'm totally jacked!!

[@murphy1384]

Such a gorgeous plant.

[@barbaratate423]

Beautiful flowers! Cute little garden helper!

Now...... I just have to plant some hibiscus.... gorgeous plants. I so enjoyed and appreciated the information on the different stages of this plant....

[@singerstarkamal]

So beautiful hibiscus plants

[@lavitabroadhurst4327]

So beautiful. Grasshoppers ate the new growth and buds before I knew it. We did have one flowering time a few weeks ago thankfully.

[@laurelking9640]

Great Video!! Now I know what I will be planting with my blue sage salvia!! Caleb is adorable!!😀

[@debbiecapaldi2570]

I think I’d like to plant a hibiscus in my yard. They are a stunning plant. The bloom is just lovely!

[@sandradunn421]

Happy planting!

[@patriciarusso1148]

I completely love your hibiscus and can't believe the size of the blooms! I wonder if you ever feed your perennials throughout the growing season? Happy Gardening,Laura & thank you for your video! Oh, and I need to purchase an auger soon as well. You are an expert and your information has been so helpful as I start to design another garden. You are greatly appreciated!

[@sandyfisher6455]

I had the opportunity to see Holy Grail at Walter's Garden in Michigan a couple years ago and feel in love. Finally this year I was able to get one for my garden!!!! It is planted next to PW Sunflower, beautiful combination!

[@GardeningkiDuniyaYT]

Amazing and beautiful hibiscus with a lot of big flowers

[@graysonsmith2147]

Hi Laura, I planted 3 Summerrific "Cherry Chocolatte" Hibiscus and love them, thanks to you. I now know, what to look for and know it when I see it!! Love your Channel.

[@bettyboop1524]

I have a beautiful Cherry Choco Latte Hibiscus that I placed in a tub of water. This is the second summer for this plant and it always amazes me how beautiful and large it has gotten. It is in the original garden center pot of soil and I make sure the tub always has plenty of water. It does make me sad when the blooms disappear so quickly or a wind storm will knock them off, but they always keep blooming. Love this plant. I'm in Kentucky.

[@lifeinseason]

My hibiscus is about to come into bloom! What an impressive plant.

[@vincechampion3031]

Thanks to you, I’m a huge Summerific Hibiscus fan. I’ve planted 5 varieties at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and they really command attention

[@danjanharris9089]

I love those hibiscus, I have 2 and need another one.

[@tinamarieussery3063]

They are gorgeous

[@joycarey]

I bought some Hawaiian Punch Hibiscus plants over a month ago. I love the beautiful coral pink color!! Mine were small when I bought them, so I planted them in barrel pot. They have grown and are filling it up beautifully. One of my favorite plants on my back deck. 🌺👒🌞 thanks for sharing! Btw, I live in Georgia- zone 7b 😉

I just love hardy hibiscus and WOW, I can't believe how fast he growing! That age is such a fun age. My sons are 21 and 17 now. Still awesome but I do miss those years of exploring and discovery.

[@ritasicari7518]

That was not her son.

[@Squirrelfriends22]

Those hibiscus 🌺 plants are gorgeous!! Especially next to the tree & bushes? It really makes that area stand out beautifully.I seen hibiscus plants & fell in love but I didn’t know it could be planted in 5 zone.Now I’m looking forward to getting some. Thank you I thought Caleb was Benjamin for a moment there lol your face was priceless when the dirt went flying 😂
