So I've actually been trying to figure out what type of Hibiscus I have. She is planted in one of those half barrels. I got her from Joshua's Native Plants in the Heights, but only about 3 months ago, but wow! she's doing amazing and I feel like I treat her way worse than all of my other plants. I'm very very impressed. The flowers are a deep pink. I think that's the only type of hibiscus they carry. You should go and talk to the owner (Joshua)...he's always there and he's a really cool dude. Very very helpful! And the prices seem like they are actually cheaper than the big box stores. I don't remember how much the hibiscus cost, I want to say $40, but it was in a 3+ gallon plastic planter. The ones I've seen at Lowe's and HD are in much smaller containers. She's huge. If I remember, I will take a picture when it stops raining. There's a ton of new growth all of the time. I clipped off a bunch of her flowers this week though to put in a vase in my house. I am not affiliated with Joshua's at all, but I saw this hilarious video he made advertising the shop and it is only a mile away from my house.

Thanks! It's been years since I've actually planted hibiscus in the ground, so I the hardier varieties!

here is mine! it's in a planter actually, but I don't intend on bringing it inside ever. we're in a townhouse community and I don't have a deep enough space to plant it in the ground with the way they laid out the concrete pad between mine and the unit next to me. I took some pictures of the little buds it's growing
