Hibiscus update

I’ve been trying to convince a friend who lives in Austin that if hibiscus shrubs can survive in the ground in Northern Virginia, they can in Texas, too. (He had a bush in a pot, but it apparently grew weary of being carted into the house every winter and out again in the spring, so it gave up the ghost.)

So I sent him the evidence of the pie-plate-sized hibiscus shrubs.

But then I remembered that one of my neighbors has a white hibiscus planted in front of their house, and it’s nearly two full stories tall. I sent him the pix.


I hope he’s inspired to try.
