now I want to buy one and plant for what would have been my 52 Anniversary. Steven died October 16th 2015. I always remember him and birthdays. Thanks for sharing!

I live at the Jersey Shore(USA). I have one in full sun, sandy soil, never fertilize and rarely water unless we have 7+ days of no rain. It is always huge (5 feet tall and 6 feet across) and during this time of year (late July) it puts on a fantastic show! In the winter i cut it right down to the ground and wait for May for it to start again. Its always the last perennial to shoot up. For me it is also somewhat invasive

I found some at Lowe's at the end of the season at 75% off and just kept them in my room with no water. All are alive! Thanks again! Now I am hooked. ha!

My most favorite flowers. I live between houston and galveston so there are many to choose from for sure. Love the large blooms.

I am Montagnard indigenous live in America I just bought 2 plants from Home Depot the flowers blooming a lot love it.

Awesome! We recently moved to our new home. The previous owners had 3 different types of a hisbiscus. I’m pretty new to the gardening world, so I’m learning lots of great tips with the gardening KZfaq community.

I planted two in my garden this past summer not knowing how well they would do in my hot Texas zone 8b but they loved my soil! I guess I need to plan to move them since they do get so much bigger than I had originally knew. Thank you so much for the information, I also used need oil on all my flowers including my hibiscus so I will be needing to Shane that as well, thank you for information! Hugs and love from Texas!

Aww Hibiscus, 1 of my mom's faves, they grow wild in the marshs here on Maryland's eastern shore, wish I could share a photo. The wild pink are fabulous, I'm always thinking I'll dig some up one day. Yours are Beautiful....Thanks for the info shared in this video.

i cut all the stems back when i bring it in the garage for winter i love it

I’m in zone 9 mine grow in straight clay around my pool. I also have some in the front. My biggest pest on them is Japanese beetles. I do the same and give them a top dress of compost. They like it very warm, mine begin to bloom around June-July when the temps are above 80-85 and higher. If you sacrifice your first set of buds and give them a pruning they will branch out and put on double and triple the amount of buds. I cut mine back in November before frost (we only get a handful of light frosts here) and leave about 2 inches of stems which turn woody- but helps me ID where they are planted. I mulch them also which helps retain moisture. This year I’m putting everything in irrigation.

Hello , where we are in Australia we don’t have a cold winter ( frosts, snow ) so our Hibiscus 🌺 don’t die in the cooler months , they grow all year around 🇦🇺👌👒🧤🌱

OMG!!! They are so easy to grow!!!! After watching your vid, I am going to buy 2!!!!!

Your hibiscus look beautiful! I will have to add them to my garden next year.

I had a major white fly infestation and bought some Neem oil on-line. None available locally. Since the backs of the leaves were TOTALLY covered in white flies and I had to wait for the mail order, I used a strong water spray to wash them off and it worked beautifully. I just did it twice and the flies disappeared. I had tried DAWN detergent but that was a fail. I actually cut the lower branches off in order to provide sun to the herbs I had underneath. Looks more like a tree than a shrub and is 7 ' tall! Gorgeous and I will always keep in the in herb garden to provide shade AND to snack on daily. The flowers are DELICIOUS! Can't say enough about hibiscus. Mine is purple and may be a rose of sharon but I know others that call it an Althea. Thanks for an informative video.

I use neem oil on my hibiscus, and only neem oil water and dish soap, it works me been using it for more than 2 years now.

I love hardy hibiscus. I have Luna Red, Peppermint Schnapps (which has blooms that are about 12" across), and Plum Crazy. I did have a white one but it didn't come back one year. Talk about a "wow" factor. The blooms are incredible. One other great thing is they bloom later in the summer when many other flowers are done. My tortoise loves to eat the blooms. I wish I had room for more actually. But they want a lot of space.

Huge flowers. Very pretty. Think I need one in my garden.thanks😊

Early spring bulbs are great to plant around hibiscus; by the time it breaks dormancy all of the bulbs are done blooming.

That Pittsburg hibiscus is gorgeous!

Just discovered ur channel from my recommendations & I'm loving all of ur vids! U are so inspiring! New subbie👩‍🌾💚

Beautiful.......I have a Midnight Marvel hardy hibiscus plant in a planter on our deck. I cut the blossoms and boil the petals in water for 10 minutes to make an herbal tea called Jamaica. After cooled, I add a squeeze of lime juice and a couple drops of liquid stevia for sweetener, and this makes the most beautiful and tasty summer tea.

I learned a lot about hibiscus on this video. Thank you

You are as pretty as the flowers are in this video. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you i just planted my first in the Spring. I am in Pa. It took a while to start it was really small when i got it. Almost gave up on it and now it is beautiful about 3 ft at most but budding like crazy. It is in a wetter spot full sun though. I will definitely get another next yr. Your info was very helpful. Mine is the first one u showed i cant remember name u said. Only problem i am noticing many small holes on leaves like u described. I think i will wait to do anything now since its late in season. Hope that is not a mistake. Saving this video for next yr to refer too. Happy gardening. We had a terribly wet and hotter than usual summer here.

This really helped me out! Thank you for letting me know to NOT use Neem Oil on them. I just planted 6 Hibiscus this week in my front flower beds and did not know this. Plus educating me on what I should use will save me tons of frustration. I LOVE that gorgeous "Heart Throb" variety. My new obsession is Hibiscus - using yellows and reds - have not seen your red variety in my area - will be searching for it. TFS :D

I live in S Florida and I have a “Chatty Cathy” hibiscus! I love it and it’s in a big pot!

Gotta love hardy hibiscus. I have a Midnight Marvel, and a Mars Madness which are very similar plants. Both have burgundy foliage. Mine are in full sun but they don't have any more blooms than yours seem to.

Love these! I have them in my garden to and they never disappoint!

Love hibiscus, you have a BEAUTIFUL GARDEN!

Didn’t know that about Neem oil on hibiscus. I had relentless spider mites across my garden last year and was trying neem oil for control. This explains the sad flowering in my hibiscus!

The hibiscus are beautiful in your garden Yuliya! 😉 Hibiscus also come in so many colors like, white, peachy, pink, hot pink 🌺 and yellow and I'm sure others I didn't mentioned oh like rose of Sharon I've see in lavender . Thank you for sharing!

I have only one so far since I moved to a new area late spring and I have always loved them and will add more in future years.....I had one previously called Pinwheel and i have not seen one since . The pedal color alternated Pink and white and it was gorgeous, would be ecstatic to find another one

True! Very slow it’s so worth the wait❤️❤️❤️ THANKS for sharing very informative. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

You know your a gardener when your excited and think its Christmas time at the garden center

I had a terrible problem with sawflies here in Michigan until I started using Bayer Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed. Problem solved. Thank you for sharing your information and beautiful hibiscus. Love ya!

Thanks, I saw it in some one garden and didn't know what it was, the color was red so beautiful

Very informative. I love Hibiscus for their charming colors.

This is the first year I found these I bought two of the red ones and can't wait to see if they come back next year!! I needed this information badly thank you so much!!!

I have a 'Heart throb' Hibiscus too, but my nursery called it a Cranberry Hibiscus!? I love it. such a stunner

I just recently discovered your channel, love your videos. Midnight Marvel is my favorite.

Charming young lady,, and Amazing video ,,, thank you !!!

This is the video I needed! This is definitely on my on my list of things to plant next year. Thank you! 🤗💕

So glad I found your channel!

I have 4 of these (Head over heels Passion and Blush, Summer in Paradise, and Luna White) and have been looking like a mad man for red ones but I did order some online (Midnight Marvel and BlackBerry Merlot) and will look for a Luna Red as well. I LOVE these plants and think the giant flowers are hilariously huge. My German Shepherd was afraid of the flowers when they started blooming and I had to convince him that they weren’t going to eat him by petting the flowers 🤣🤣

Thank you. I have 2 hardy hibiscus and am not getting as many blooms as I like. Your video is very helpful; I think I need to water more deeply.

Great video. I have 17 varieties! I'm in CT

That Maple in the background is amazing! (as are you of course)

They are beautiful!

I have that flower 🌼🌸😏 in my yard and it have flower bud but only one or two will bloom out at the same time. It's a beautiful plant 🪴 mine blooms are yellow. 💛😍

I just planted one. So beautiful. Thank you for this video, Subscribed 🌸

I’ve been wanting to try this kind of 🌺 hibiscus. The initials H.M. could stand for “Her Majesty” these are so regal. Thanks very much for sharing the info about its care. I must get some! For some reason it is easier to buy tropical hibiscus here although they still behave like annuals in Upstate SC. 🌺Have a great day!

Thank you so much! This year, lots of little white or grey mites on my large potted hibiscus! And I used neem oil spray a few times and also few few blooms this year. (But its on my twisted trunk hibiscus tree. ) not sure how different that variety is from hardy hibiscus planted in ground.

My daughter bought me a packet of seeds from some place overseas, I planted the seeds and got about twenty plants but I was not sure they were hibiscus, they are about ten months old from germination,I live in the west Indian island of Trinidad, they are all in the full sun, I'm anxiously waiting for blooms

Gorgeous! I want them all.

I just got one 2 weeks ago. I love it! I want more!

My God, they are huge & beautiful. Very interesting.

In spring, after the danger of the last frost, here in Canada Zone 3, I cut last year’s stems back to ground level.

This was helpful. Thank you.

So beautiful flowers

Beautiful flowers I love them. Thank you for sharing the great information.

I am having Japanese Beetles this year in my garden....and they like the Hibiscus too. But only a few on my Hibiscus.

Beautiful flowers :)

Thank you for your video. I bought a Rose of Sharon this year and I have it in a raised bed container. It’s doing very well, has lots of buds and it’s about to bloom. I’m in zone 5, how can I protect it from the harsh winter ❄️

I bought 9 after seeing your hibiscus! ha!

Beautiful and edible.

great vid ! love hibiscus flowers!

Thank you so much for the information 💕💕

So amazing flowers 🎉🎉🎉🎉

the only one I have is the snow queen hibiscus- it has variegated leaves and I just love it, even when its not in bloom.

thanks for your video. I got a really small/young perennial hibiscus a few months ago and put it in a large container for this season. I'm a little nervous about transplanting and not sure when to do it, but I know it's going to need more space next year. it had sawflies too but I caught them very early and picked the larvae off a few times, easy for a small plant not so much big ones like yours. between that and the heat wave no pest issues (hopefully)

EyE have heart throb hibiscus. This is my first blossom. It's so gorgeous.

love the hearthrob

I got one of those plant month ago I wish the bloom would last longer friend.

Wow. Never knew there was a hardy varieties. Thanks so much.

Beautiful flowers

Beautiful, thanks for sharing

Thank u for sharing... nice garden..

Mmm it makes good “agua de Jamaica “ Better than kool-aid.

They are beautiful. How do you keep track of everything you need to do for all of the different plants you grow? Amazing

Thank you! I was coming here to specifically see if it was herbaceous or not.

This was everything I wanted to know I have a hardy one and I live in the north of England with cold winds fingers crossed hope to be able to put it outside some times during the summer but so scared to lose it may bring it in the conservatory if any cold winds.Thank you for your video👍

How do winterize them? Thank. Great video, beautiful plants!

Currently I’m growing Mars Madness Hardy Hibiscus in a big container here in zone 7b. Hopefully they will do better this year. I didn’t have it in full sun which they prefer.

Strange you say that about Neem oil & Hibiscus . My dads 5 rows of 20 yo Hibiscus looks awful this year...curled and twisted leaves. I only found Japanese beetles on them so I used the Neem oil and they look so much better (had to cut off the disfigured parts) it took care of those Beetles too.

Are you kidding -- not enough blooms!!!! Wowzers!!! You have a great collection of Hibiscus. I have pink and red in full sun and don't get as many as I see on yours. Based on your tips it's probably because I don't give them enough water -- they are in an island where it's hard to put a soaker hose for fear of the lawn mower running over it -- been there done that! And the tip on giving the compost 2" in the spring was good. Will have to remember that! Had the Cherry Cheesecake at one time but I don't know what happened to it. Oh -- one more thing -- is Snow Queen Hibiscus hardy? Thanks.

Hi new follower here. Really like your video. Very informative and clear explanation. Plus we are in the same hardiness zone. I purchased a couple of plants after watched your video, since you said they are easy to grow. Lol.

Amazing flower I love it ♥

I just purchased two from the clearance section at Walmart for $4 each. I don't really have a green thumb so the plants I've been purchasing have been on clearance. I'm not sure what kind of hibiscus I have or how to care for it, lol, so we shall see!

This help me soo much since I live in the Puerto Rican region

I grow H. coccineus , scarlet star a native to S.E. USA and it survives here in W.N.C. in zone 6b. Bright red star shaped open petal flowers. It might be good if you ever wanted to create a hybrid, since you live in the garden state. Who knows you might develope a new variety. I'm not sure , but I think Lord Baltimore was developed from this specie.

Hello. Our hibiscus were infested with fly/worms that create white fuzz underneath the leaves. We tried several methods including dish soap and agricultural oil. Nothing helped. We finally trimmed them all the way down to the stumps to start over again. You mentioned something that would work in this video, but I couldn't understand what you said. I switched on the CC, but it gave some other word that didn't make sense. So, what is it that you recommend to rid these pest from hibiscus?

Beautiful hibiscus

Those are beautiful I'm going to get me some🌸 are these pollinators? when are the best time to plant them in zone 6 Michigan this year I bought two knockout roses and later on down the season I noticed that I had saw flies! can I use the same pesticide on the Roses? I'm glad that I subscribed to your Channel you are amazing and very knowledgeable. Thank you for good the information💁

very very nice video

These are some of the most beautiful Hibiscus! I wonder if they will do well in warm, humid tropical climate as well here in South East Asia? I think many of the beautiful Hibiscus hybrid varieties with huge plate-like flowers that do grow here probably have been hybred with these Hardy Hibiscus already.

Thank you for this video, very informative!!

Wowww beautiful .. ❤️ From INDIA.,😊

I love this plant .. They all do seed except the red one🤭 .. I grow them from seed and give them away ..

thanks for neem oil tip!

Beautiful! With my rose of Sharon I cut large buds the afternoon before, and they open the next day in the vase. Would that work with these flowers?
