Good morning GA friends. Love Hibiscus plants. They are beautiful.

How do you know if you’ve got a hardy hibiscus? The ones I bought came in standard black buckets, not this Proven Winner ones. I know that tells you nothing but was hoping you could explain hardy vs non-hardy or whatever.

[@kimberlymcmillian2440]

@@ChrisJ-mf7cj Hardy is another word for perennial. When buying look at tags. The annuals that do not come back every year would say they are tropical hibiscus. You can look at temperature rating on tags as well.

My all time favorite is Midnight Marvel. The dark foliage and deep red blooms put on a stunning display. Over the years I’ve worked in garden centers and have gained a lot of plant knowledge, which I’ve passed on to friends & family. I have 8 hibiscus in my yard and I absolutely love them! They don’t put on their show until late summer, but it’s worth the wait.

[@barebones5884]

She would be out of a job

[@karenvknight6516]

I think that would need to be another channel..Laura likes the English style. The west is greener than the east coast because they are pulling from the world's underground aquifers and irrigating like nothing I have ever seen. Even her favorite England does not irrigate; especially lawns. We on the East coast rely on what falls from the sky and of course rain is not able to recharge the aquifers in the amounts being pulled. We are living on borrowed rain like borrowed money and all good things will come to an end. I do not begrudge her as I also love this look but I do worry that she is being an 'influencer' to people across the country/world who will all think irrigation is normal in the middle of a desert.

[@kw7378a1]

@@karenvknight6516 I think you mean the Pacific Northwest where Laura lives. The West also includes the Southwest which is basically all desert and chaparral. But I agree - probably better to look for a channel based in that climate rather than ask Laura to speculate. I do wish there were as fantastic channels like this in every climate zone though!

[@karenvknight6516]

Actually they live as she herself says high desert not pacific NE - that is the area along the coast that is normally known for its mild rainy weather but this year got that several weeks of extreme heat. I think there is a nursery called High Country Gardens in CO that would be a good resource for folks who live west of the Plains

[@Brandon-yr3nj]

It’s probably the breed. Older varsities of hibiscus were extremely leggy and wild looking. These are newer cultivars.

Mine are not rounded like this either. I have old ones and new ones and they're more vase shaped. I have 3 of the new summerific varieties and 5 of the older varieties. All are growing the same in full sun.

I did some research and it says when the hibiscus is about 2 ft tall to trim them by half to a node that faces outward and into a dome shape. I'd bet these people cut them back and into shape.

I just adore the huge blooms on the perennial hibiscus! I planted my first ones 4 years ago in planters because I didn't know where I wanted them. Unfortunately, they did not survive our harsh winter in the pots. I'm sure they would have been okay if I had planted them directly into the ground. Last year, after seeing a 'Starry Starry Night' Hibiscus, I decided to try again. The foliage is a dark maroon with swirled pink and white flowers, it's absolutely gorgeous! In spite of my neighbor spraying weeds with herbicide, which made all of the leaves curl, I cut the damaged foliage off and now it's all budded up and about to burst into bloom! YAY!

I’m so glad I happened upon this video. I inherited a hibiscus from the previous owner and never knew what to do with it. It was taller than our one story house but loaded with flowers. I have been struggling trying to like this bush but it is eventually loaded with Japanese beetles. I didn’t know you could cut it way back and it would survive so I’m going to try this in the spring to make it more manageable. It is also a VERY MESSY bush when it starts to lose the flowers ... lots of cleanup!
