Thank you Lynn and Richard. Beautiful Hibiscus. Loved it. I have few colors of it including the giant white. Late bloomers and are beautiful. Coming back home soon. Take care.
Hi Nathan. Hopefully, you'll be home soon to enjoy yours. Our friend Ranjeet is bringing his parents over later this week to visit our gardens. We excited to mee them. I believe they are from the state of Punjab and hope to learn more. Safe travels. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hello Penny. Glad to hear you've had a similar experience. We're keeping our eyes open to see if any sterile seeds from our hybrid Hibiscus produce baby plants. Since 99% of seeds are sterile, there's always a chance it may produce a viable seed. Perhaps winning the lottery has better odds. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing.

Hi Lynn, my name is Dorothy. I just wanted to say hi and I really enjoy watching your videos. My first one was about a week ago on zinnias, loved it. I plan on trying to this summer a green and a purple. What I thought was so cute was your yellow tree. I had to have one. I have a balcony garden and I just got done painting part of a tree, and old climbing rose twig and a couple others, I did mine lime tree believe it or not thats the name its a pretty color, pretty neat idea Thanks. I also have 3 hibiscus that I planted last year 2 purple and 1 red. Both purple are starting to show but no signs on the red one yet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the info. Your a spunky woman, have a nice summer. Happy gardening.
Hello Dorothy, what a sweet comment. Sounds like we like the same cute things. Love my Zinnias and will always plant them, just such happy flowers. Your painted twigs and trees sound like fun. Our Hibiscus don't start growing until just before Father's Day, so we have a while yet to wait for them. They are amazing plants. Have a great summer, hope to hear more growing stories from you. Thank you for watching, sharing and caring. Keep the love growing. Lynn & Richard wisconsingarden.com
I love the hibiscus!! I have several in my garden.. mine are red mainly. Thanks for the video! Got my Wisconsin Garden video Fox!! Y’all make me happy to be a gardener!
Good morning Rod. Not sure any gardener can grow enough hibiscus or Rose of Sharon plants. They bloom their little hearts out every day for nearly 2-months. Amazing plants. Thank you for your continued kind comments, as well as, for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
I've seen these giant hibiscus! I have many hardy hibiscus in my garden but can never forget this huge giant plant with giant white flowers and knew they were hibiscus but not sure what kind. The white is breath taking and need one in my life! Regarding the one day blooms, I love the buds too. They look like a large rose bud! I have some that self seeded and love it!
Good morning. Every day when we go outside, we are continually impressed with the amazing display of blooms. Just amazing to see all the different Hibiscus in bloom. Hope you add the ones you want for your garden as well. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Giant hardy hibiscus is not readily available here in Australia. The closes that I've seen is the Rose of Sharon. I had one at the front of my previous home. I grew up with the tropical hibiscus. We had one nice one right outside our house. The petals are thicker, very pretty and different to any I've seen in Australia.
Good Morning Mary. It is amazing to see all the Rose of Sharon varieties that are available. As for the Hardy varieties, they grow in zones 5-9 and can handle temps as low as -20F. We know Australia has 6 zones, Equitorial, Tropical, Sub-tropical, Desert, Grassland and Temperate. Do you still live in the tropical zone? If you do, we envy all the tropical hibiscus varieties that bloom nearly all-year long. Take care. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing.

I had to watch this 3 times they are so beautiful. Now am I right in thinking, they die back to the ground in the winter, and grow up from the roots in the Spring? When is the best tine to divide them?
Good morning Sharon. The best time to divide most plants, including Hibiscus, is in early fall (late Sept-early Oct) when the weather begins to cool down allowing the roots time to develop before the snow flies. This avoids trying to divide roots during dangerous heat and/or drought. Make sure to water them lightly once a day for the first two weeks (weather permitting) then water as needed. You don't want the soil to be soggy and overwatered. You also don't want the soil to dry out before the new roots develop either. We do the finger test by poking our finger deep into the new soil to see if it's too wet or too dry. Then you'll know what's needed. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing.

Hello lynn . Its been awhile.its been a very busy summer here. I love your hybisus. I bought a rose of sharon last summer but it didnt make it. I got some Luna,s as well last year an they are doing well. But not bloomed yet. I cant wait to see them. There is more blooms this year . Question is. Do you cut them down in the fall?. Thats what i did an their just starting to bloom now .was it a good idea?. What do you do with yourse
Hello Wanda. Sorry to hear about the demise of your Rose of Sharon. It's such a colorful plant. Hope you try again but plant earlier in spring before the heat sets in. We do cut all our hibiscus stalks to about 12" above ground level. It helps capture fall leaves which help insulate it a bit over winter. In spring we remove the old stalks allowing all the new sprouts to grow. We then break and crunch them into mulch around the plant or simply compost. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing.

Good morning Diane. We had very few Japanese Beetles earlier this summer. We haven't seen any for the last month and a half. Normally, they would attack our Hibiscus and other plants but not so this year leaving us with beautiful daily blooms perfect for photographing. We will continue knocking on wood. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
This has been a very odd year. We've had hardly any mosquitoes and Japanese Beetles this year. That is truly most unusual. Also, very few Monarch and other butterflies as well. Lot of birds, squirrels and chipmunks however. Hmmmmmm! TKS L&R

Do the Japanese beetles bother your hibiscus? I have rose of Sharon instead. And they completely shred my climbing hydrangea.
