@7:08 I can really appreciate what you are talking about between differences in size, textures, colors, etc. Thanks for showing us this beautiful landscape and your knowledge. This really helps me a lot.
I have a Mars Madness Hibiscus and the flowers look almost Identical to your Midnight Marvel Hibiscus plants. I dump my used coffee grounds near it and it seems to love that.
Love this video. Hibiscus are my favorite plants, I have nine. I have all of them in pots. I’m in zone 9 Northern California. They are so beautiful. I do have one yellow one (Tropical). Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden. God Bless you and your family 🙏🏾 BTW keep the shirt off 😊
i just ordered a midnight marvel, and living in Arizona this video was extremely informative and helpful on what to do, so i thank you for this information and in confirming that the location that gets dappled shade with around 5 hours of full sun and will have looser soil is indeed a good location to plant it in :) We grow hibiscus but they're the tropical varieties, so i wasn't sure of what to expect with rose mallows
You'd love the Summerific line of Hardy Hibiscus. I purchased the Summerific Perfect storm and Summerific Cherry Choco Latte this Spring. They're gorgeous. I had a couple of the Disco Belles and the Summerific line blows them away in the show they put on. The Choco Latte seemed to be taller (not by a lot) and blooms about a month earlier. I'm excited for next year's new comers.... I really don't need anymore but love this plant
My soil is sandy. It sux for most plants we have hauled in so much top soil but as the years has went on the dirt disappeared into the ground. But my hardy hibiscus is doing great.
thry look great. If you put a small berm just downhill from the hibiscus plants in a "c" shape they will retain more of the water runoff from up the hill.
So brand new there is now a hardy hibiscus that is sorta kinda yellow. Mostly white, but a yellowish white. It is called Hibiscus French Vanilla. Brand new this year.
My thought on your plant being bigger near the generator - if that generator is always running, it’s warmer there & the warmth goes deeper into the ground. Same w grass along concrete or brick paths - it will always grow better from the warmth it holds.
Mine has stunted blooms this year.( Its the plants 2nd year of planting). The blooms has gaps between petals instead of a full big round bloom. Not sure what happened
I live in Western Australia & many of the more common hibiscus grow huge. Some grow into small tree size & are also used as a very attractive & hardy hedge.
Thank you! I almost considered my hardy hibiscus dead after the first time I planted it because all it was was sticks sticking out of the soil. But I left it in. Good thing because i’m mid April, I noticed small shoots growing from the base. Now by end of April, I have much foliage growing. My question to you is, when does it start to bud and when could I expect blossoms? Should I fertilize and what type should I use? I’m in North Carolina.
Hi, I have a midnight marvel and I'm going to add Venus heliopsis next to it. Thanks for showing the contrast. These bloom from mid summer to early fall so what perennial plants do you have that bloom in spring and early fall? I want to add those next to these as well so that I will have some flowers spring through fall. Any advice is appreciated. I live in 8B
The plants are awesome but damn did you catch that house?! Beautiful architecture and looks like a baby chateau. Beautiful land. Please show more of that in future videos if you can. By the way, are you making many varieties of teas with those flowers or are they just for looks? Thanks for sharing.
You have a point, I try not to show off the house on this channel, but it is certainly a draw. Strangers drive by to look at it every day. I don't make any tea.
@@backyardgardening1756 Wow! I'm shocked you don't make tea :( Well I would buy any hibiscus or rose cuttings happily or seeds. Please let me know if that's possible. I'd rather give back to the community and not mass producing farms etc. Thanks for the reply.
You spoke of husbandry and I’m just wondering if you do something special to guard against all the blooms that turn yellow. I pull them off daily because they usually have little holes and/or eggs on them and will not bloom. I spray with Neem but I’m wondering if it’s bugs attacking or a type of worm. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks for letting us know to be paitent waiting on them to come up in the spring. I just planted min a little of two weeks ago south of you in Georgia and they have not come up yet.
It is good video, just you need some clothes. Also will be good to know we’re your place located? I am in Missouri, don’t know if I can plant outside red one and yellow?
Beautiful hibiscus! Thank you for showing us all your hardy ones. I live near Philadelphia and buy new ones every year, which gets expensive. How much water do they need? I have to water the annual one every day. Is that about right? Do we need to put in a drip water system? Do they take full sun, or partial shade?? Thanks so much!
Hi do you eat the hibiscus I m growing 3 their doing great but I got them for both eating, drinking and for the looks they are beautiful your garden looks amazing
I love your plants ! I wish I could trade with you lol you would love my plants also but I'm in Florida very hot here and different zone.Most of my plants are tropical hibiscus.
Thanks for the information . I currently have 10 I've grown from seeds started in march. They're still small only ranging from 6-10in tall. When or at what height should they before I plant them in yard? And will they automatically grow into bushes? Or do I have to shape them with pruning?
They grow into bushes I would do a pot work up to 2 gal after that plant in the ground the root ball should be big enough to take off in ground. You can prune if you like because you'll see they do grow crazily at times.
for some reason it's so hard to find these in san francisco bay area. Walmart had 6 for sale near my house and they sold out (better homes luna) and i found a nursery that had proven winners cranberry, I havent planted my cranberry crush because of our constant heat waves and smoke from our fires, but it's not doing well in the pot. hope it makes it
I have no luck growing hibiscus. For some reason they don't bloom much. There's buds that form but they drop off before they fully mature. I live in zone 9. During the summer they are in direct sunlight for about 6+ hours a day in about 90-100 degree weather. I water them almost every day to every other day when it's hot like that. I don't see any pests on the plants so I'm not sure what's going on. Please help.
What's the pH of the soil you grow them in? I live in West Texas, Zone 8-9 so I'm on the edge and my soil tends to be neutral 6.5 to 7, a lot of caliche/limestone.
Lots of garden centers carry them in mid summer, I prefer to buy small ones from mail order garden centers (or internet) in the spring so they can get established before summer heat comes on.
I have a Luna Hibiscus and it’s not doing well. I live in Florida. I water ... compost, mulch ... I do have an issue snails and snugs but I’m dealing with them. I see new leaves but it’s growth is very slow and not many buds. I’m not sure what to do. It’s on a raised bed ... I’m bummed that it seems to be struggling.
Hi from zone 8 NTx! What are your high temperatures like where you are? Am looking to plant mine but am worried if I go full sun the Texas heat will scorch them.
Charli Bryant, hi, I live in north Tx too and I have a lot of these hardy hibiscus. I have them all planted in locations that get a lot of morning sun but are shaded by 3-4 every afternoon/evening. They love water, although not drowning, and soil that is a bit acidic. Hope this helps!
They’re supposed to be winter hardy. I don’t know where you live, but I cut mine down to the ground them just cover it with leaf mulch that I get from my own garden.
What state are you located? I live in California and I think I've seen some people growing them. We have a very hot and dry summer season, do you think it need to be in a shady area?
Are you any hotter than I am here in Chattanooga TN? July was all 90+ without a spot of rain. Once established they don't "need" it but mine that grew really large were getting supplemental watering during this time. Others I did not water still grew and are doing fine, just not as big.
This summer was hotter than usual. 100+. We even had a day that hit 118 and some of my trees ended up with scorched leaves. But our summers are dry with low humidity.
Cuttings, root divisions can sorta work but the plant grows from a centralized crown so that is difficult, I've done it once with limited success. They produce seeds but as with any hybrid seeds will not grow to be the same plant as the mother.
I've divided mine many times. I bought a new home and took half of each one that I had in my landscape at my old place. They all lived and are thriving very well.
@@justthinkstem3788 Yes. I put the shovel in the middle, close to where I had several stems sticking out of the ground still. They're very thick but it's possible to divide them
Amazing garden. The Hibiscus in front of the generator is incredible ❤👌🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾🙌🏾thanks for sharing

They are beautiful .. I particularly like the pink ones . Thanks for the info.
I just planted two hibiscus today.one is a pretty red and the other is a sherbet orange. Yours are absolutely gorgeous!
Hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers thank you for sharing
My soil is sandy. It sux for most plants we have hauled in so much top soil but as the years has went on the dirt disappeared into the ground. But my hardy hibiscus is doing great.
I have 2 in my garden and they are great performers 😊😊🇨🇦
Hey. If you haven’t tried yet they’re so easy to propagate in water. 😍
You’re a great performer 😈
@@ChristopherEPineda How do you propagate them in water. I have a yellow one that came up from a seed after about 20 years.
thry look great. If you put a small berm just downhill from the hibiscus plants in a "c" shape they will retain more of the water runoff from up the hill.
Hibiscus does comes in yellow btw
Not hardy ones. Its a completely different plant from tropical hibiscus - just with a similar flower form and so a shared name.
@@buildingmycastle4934 my neighbor has 2 yellow hibiscus 6ft tall still in bloom. Zone 9
@@sparklingwiggle Thats most likely a tropical hibiscus which is not the same as a hardy hibiscus

Wow you have a very beautiful colorful garden
The hibiscus is so beautiful
Thanks -- I didn't realize there is a variety of hibiscus that grows well in zones 4 - 8.
I wanted more info on the midnight marvel's I just got. And finally I found the information I was looking for, thank you!
Mine has stunted blooms this year.( Its the plants 2nd year of planting). The blooms has gaps between petals instead of a full big round bloom. Not sure what happened

Blessyour lil heart.😂
🤨THEY DO NOT COME IN THE COLOR YELLOW
Wow, beautiful plants and home. Great video
I am from Chattanooga TN as well
Btw did you get a second flush of blooms too this year? I got a second flush on all of my hibiscus this year. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth!
I just got mines today, excited to see how they will show
Thank you!
