Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?QOSIP 1 July 2008 Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) There is one plant in the garden, and it has many red blooms in season. The plant was on the property when purchased five years ago, and it blooms (red) every year without fail. These hibiscus tend to be the very last plant to reappear in spring. At first it appears to be dead, then when the soil is warm enough it shoots up. It is pruned to the ground in the Fall, and I cover it with some fine compost for fertilizer. I place a string around the plant about one-third up the stalks, since during a heavy rain, the stalks can be bent to the ground due to the weight.
