My husband thought it was dead and pulled it out and threw it in garbage. I saw and said it isn't dead. He took the stick, broke it in half and stuck it in the ground laughing. Well, we have a beautiful plant that grows every year. So remember, it is a late bloomer.

I bought 3 last year and I love them! They grew fast and flowered all Sumner and fall. I may get more this year. They are so beautiful!

Excellent video. I bought seeds from True Leaf Last year and gave about 60 away to friends and have about 70 growing this year in pots to give to friends this year. They were amazing even from seed last year growing fast and producing loads of flowers even though very small plants. My sisters that she has had a few years are about 6 feet tall in the summer.

Tried growing this in the AZ desert, but our "full sun" here in Lake Havasu is more like nuclear fission. Kept it watered daily to keep soil moisture good but our summer heat here is brutal.

I have close to 20 on my acre..the perfect flower

[LindaSachitano]

Have had great bloomings this year. Kept up with the count and believe I have had 86 blooms in all. Started blooming around June 12th but looks like it may be over. Only one bloom today. Most I have had in one day was nine. Today is only July 4th. Do you think it's through blooming? I live in East Texas. I love this plant!!!

[aiculsunlight]

I just found a pink hibiscus growing wild by the river my house is on. I only noticed bc I saw bright pink as I walked by on the road so I walked down to see what it was (bc I enjoy transposing wild flowers/shrubs to plant in my yard) and managed to get JUST enough root with it that once it died back briefly it immediately started pushing out more green.

How come there was just one random little hibiscus growing all by itself? There aren’t any similar ones nearby at all - I checked lol
