Questions about hardy Hibiscus?
Just bought a bunch of hardy Hibiscus to plant. I started them in large plastic garden flower containers with good garden composted soil. Right now they just have a root system and one small “bud” (?) poking out from them. I faced this part up to the sun as it looked a bit green on top. How long will it take them to grow? And should I water them well while they are growing or wait until they have leaves etc? Any other advice would be appreciated.
Hibiscus are actually a dry , heat loving plant. Water too much and they will get scale, aphids, mites etc. Plants generally need water once a week for 15 to 20 minutes when they are in the ground. Use caution while watering hibiscus.
