    I am with Kristy and Lucy, the variegated brugs HATE me. Last year I killed about 6 Maya cuttings. Recieved several variegated cuttings this year and the only one hanging on is Maya! Love the hibiscus!!! I bought a variegated hibiscus last year, it has been in my unheated garage all winter......guess what? I see green coming out!!! yeah!!! I hope it continues to do well for me!

    Please LMK if he does start selling Miner's Claim. I think I got my snowbank from this seller and I was pleased with the plant I got.
    I would give miner's claim another try if I could get a nice sized rooted cutting. The one I ordered from Terretorial seed co last year was a little seedling that I killed.
    Still want to get Emerald Frost form Eddie. I got sunsport and I like the green on green variegation too.
    You should check out this brug called 'Freckles' it is newly registered and is variegated in random spots and splotches green on green.

    Logees probably does have it but that's one of the nurseries I won't buy from. I think my Sunsport might still be alive. I was almost certain it was a casualty of the GH freeze but the portion of the stem under the soil is alive and will hopefully send up new growth. I like the Freckles foliage but am not terribly impressed with the bloom. I don't know what Emerald Frost looks like. Kasie your hibiscus is beautiful.

  • 17 years ago

    Karyn, Emeral frost is Eddie's sport of Frosty Pink, it has the green on green variegation. Remember, Daniella named it in a contes last year?
    Logee's does have MC but I think it is a 2.5" pot size, which means it would probably be a little seedling like the one I got from territorial.

    Wow Kasie, Dragon's Breath is a beauty! I've never seen that one before. Maybe I should look into hibiscus, LOL! Where did you buy it?

    I killed Maya cuttings a long time ago, and all my cuttings from Annette of Sunspot rooted, but then also croaked once planted :-( I haven't killed the Snowbank I got from dogwooderitternet, or the Miner's Claim I got from the nearby nursery, yeah!

    I don't mean to hijack this but since we got to talking about Hibiscus, I hope you'll find the link below useful. My husband I went to their open house last spring and oh my gosh, I've never ever seen so many beautiful, gorgeous, to die for hibiscus. I've always thought of them as the typical red, pink and yellow. Wrong-go!! I picked up Love Story and Living Legend. I picked up Dragon's Breath at Lowe's last summer. It was in a 2 gal. can and was about $10.

    Kasie I really wish you wouldn't have posted that link! lol I stopped growing tropical hibiscus because of the white fly problems I'd have in the greenhouse but looking at those I might have to figure out a way to deal with it. Those are just gorgeous!!!!

  • 17 years ago

    Karyn I am with you. Kasie I think I am drooling again jus tthinking about that site and all those gorgeous hibiscus'. WOW!! I saw a few there I have not seen anyplace else yet. Not that i go search but we got enough folks here linking to way to many different species and I have a hard time keeping up with it. Well not me...but the pocketbook roflmao.

    Lucy

  • 17 years ago

    So many "Want's", so little space!, LOL Those hibiscus are beautiful. I am just afraid I would lose them over the winter. If they would bloom like that in the shade.... Oh well, I had better get started feeding what I have.

    Here is a few pics of the blooms I have to offer.
    I got my hibiscus a couple of years ago at a show and sale and they have not disappointed me. The rose came from an elderly gent down the street. I dug up a piece of the root and its now gorgeous. The neighbour called it a rambling rose not a climber. It goes straight into the air - actually has been taller then the house but for the last few years I have kept it pruned to about 6 feet where its looks so much nicer. It has velvet type blooms and the smell is heavenly.

    russ that is amazing that out of a cut off root you got such a gorgeous growing rose out of it. I can see why the white hibiscus is called bride's choice!

    Did get the black dragon one too so I am happy to see it in pictures for now ..thanks. I have tried to root hibiscus' but no success. I sure would love to be able to do that. Knowing that that would make a great share object lol

    Ok back to the outdoors so I too will have nice things to show soon ..I hope.

    Lucy

    If I would try a hibiscus, would I be able to let it go dormant for the winter like my brugs or do they have to be kept growing? I think I asked this before but I forget.
    Shawn

  • 17 years ago

    Lucy:
    I am not able to get the black dragon or bride's choice to root from a cutting but I was able to get the cutting from fire and ice to root. I bought all of my hibiscus from the show and sale held twice a year in Pasadena -Tx. They sure know the plants there with tons of information.
    The mother rose bush is now gone as the elderly gent passed away and the new home owners went in and cut everything to the ground. Only thing they left was some day lilies in the back yard. I am so glad I dug up the roots when I asked for them. I have had the rose bush now for about 10 years.

  • 17 years ago

    Shawn I spoke with Ron and he said he might be listing more Miner's Claim in the late summer. The tropical hibiscus doesn't go dormant like the hardy varieties and needs winter protection. We sold them for years and all that time battled white flies in the greenhouse. Since we are organic we can't use chemicals and nothing we did managed to get rid of them. They aren't difficult to grow and are very easily propagated by cuttings. We didn't have anything as pretty as the nursery that Kasie posted. Those are just fantastic.

    Russ nice hibiscus and roses. I don't do roses either. Unless you constantly treat them here they inevitably get Black Spot and Powdery Mildew, even the supposedly resistant varieties.

  • 17 years ago

    Russ beautiful plants thanks so much for sharing them with us...I love the Black dragon especially..:)

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks for the information. I like varigated leaves, have lots of plants with them, so I ordered one.

    Barb, Chartruese Rose is gorgeous; and here I thought my plain orange was so great, LOL! Thank you and Kasie for the websites (ENABLERS!!).

  • 17 years ago

    The variegated ones hate me so of course I just in another Maya. I think it would have made it if not for an accident in the garage so I will try it again. The snowbanks hate me for sure and Jamie died a sudden death as well.
