Hi!
Beautiful hibiscus collection! I just have two, one, classic red, that I've had nearly twenty-two years that is huge and another, classic pink, that I've had about fifteen years. It's really amazing to see the variety that is available. Your pictures are stunning!

those are gorgeous plants! I have a few plants - mostly from home depot, but i did manage to get a hold of a Hula girl, with a 6in yellow flower - hoping i can get a seed pod or two from it soon.

Those are STUNNING!
I'm so thrilled to find your post as I've been searching for those who grow hibiscus. Do you grow them in a container or in a flower bed? I've been growing mine in the container on the balcony and overwintering indoors. The biggest challenge I've been having is with spidermites that seem to love the hibiscus when its inside! Lost so many blooms while spraying them with insectiside soap yet the buggers always seem to come back.
Also, what do you fertilze it with? Some suggest to use the one for tomatoes with the 3rd number the highest.

Any suggestions are much, much appreciated!

Seeing you are the lady with the Hibiscus plants. Do you know what this one is (belongs to a friend of a friend). I have tried to take cuttings, but no luck.


I especially love the hibiscus in the 2nd last photo, what is it's name.
