Hibiscus Anyone?

[Candice]

I love hisbiscus! I really want a hisbiscus tree....but my dogs would destroy it right now if I go and get one. I had tried to grow a blackberry tree/bush and my lil one who is now 9 months old, at the time was 5 mos. she chewed the entire thing up, then of course it died!
BUt all these make me wanna go get one from a nusery! Thanks for sharing!!!!

I am proud to announce the arrival of 'Hurricane Lily'. The first of 5 plants that has finally bloomed - Thanks to the addition of a bloom booster, 'Lily' has strengthened and is showing her true colors

I love them also but have the same problem. I had a bush planted in the back yard by the pool. My dogs eat both the leaves and the blooms. I never get to see it bloom
In fact, I'd all but given up on the plant as the leaves did not return this year. (They were all eaten by the dogs). It's starting to green up again now thank god after 8 months of bare sticks.
Any ideas of how to make the plant not tastey to the rulers of my backyard? lol At this point I'm ready to try anything.

Cayenne pepper mixed with water and spray the plant. Make sure you have a lot of water for the dogs if they decide to eat one. If they a smart dogs they will only do it once.
