Planting Hollywood Hibiscus in Self-Watering Containers | Here She Grows

After experimenting with my Aquapots Lite containers, I'm happy to say that they had a successful first season in the garden. So I brought them back for another go this year and am planting them with a simple but beautiful combo. Hollywood Hibiscus America's Sweetheart with a bit of Creeping Jenny from my garden.
I also reuse my soil and show how to do that too. You won't find any specific measurements here. I use the existing soil, provided the plants from the previous year had no issues, then simply add some worm castings, a bit of slow release fertilizer and some fresh potting soil. Done!
Here are the links to the things I mention in the video...

Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.

Your angels trumpet looks very healthy and happy. Last fall, based on one of your videos, I reduced the root ball of my very large angels trumpet by half and rooted 5 cuttings from it as insurance against what felt like me attempting to kill it. 😂. Then I worried all winter about whether it would leaf out again in the spring. I’m happy to report that it survived. Both it and the 5 cuttings are growing well. Would love to see your angels trumpet later in the season in bloom. Thank you for taking the time to make and post your videos.

Hi Heather! These aqua pots are definitely game changers 🙌
Always have to include Hibiscus into garden settings. Just beautiful and forever giving during their season! 🌸 What is that in the pot behind you? I love how you angle planted them! 💚 I have a red gourd birdhouse. Love it! Sorry for my absence. I was away for awhile, dealing with an unfortunate situation, but I'm back now, and all caught up with my landscaping and filling my deck planters! Yay! Hugs to you ❤

Oh can I come get a few patches of your creeping jenny ? LOL. I paid a lot of money for mine to put in containers this year, but I think it will come back for me so maybe it was money well spent. I am zone 6a.

can you repeat the name of that fragrant dianthus?
