please can you tell me the name of this hibiscus and whether its hardy or tropical thanks for any respons mal
thanks for your time and knowledge i am still trying to grow the hibiscus plants have got around fourteen but find them very tempermental and touchy to grow in wales uk climate not very good thanks again mal
Do you keep them indoors all year? I had trouble adjusting them to inside with the lower level of humidity and the buds would drop off......
When I lived in Northern Alberta and had indoor H rosa-sinensis, I had to mist daily to keep them from dropping buds and leaves.
thanks Lorax for your reply you do believe the name of the photo is h rosa-sinensis , iam trying too take some cuttings this spring. thanks mal
I do believe the base name of that plant is H. rosa-sinensis. I have no idea which cultivar it is, though. It reminds me of "Sunset" but I can't be sure - there are so many!
That is a nice coloured bloom, I'll be looking for one like it when I go to Edmonton, Alberta for an orchid show. I had a more standard 'red' several years ago and although it didn't bloom as often in winter as in the summer it did bloom year round. If I can aquire one of this colour I will be more diligent in pruning for spring as well pest control. My last one wasn't allowed back in the house after a summer spent on my deck (lots of growth and blooms but also picked up spider mites). I'm envious of your collection of hibiscus, must be quite a sight when in full bloom. Shaun
