help identifying plants

7 years ago

I am wondering if anyone can help me identify these two flowering plants. I took the pictures while on vacation in Florida but I live in Georgia. I am wondering if these would be okay to plant and survive in Georgia as well. I think the big flowered one is a hibiscus bush but not sure. I have no idea about the other one. Thanks!!

The top photo is hibiscus. Tropical Hibiscus rosa-sinensis will not take temperatures below 25ºF. That's zone 9. There are, however, hardy perennial species such as H. moscheutos which will grow in zones 4 to 9. It gets around 4' tall and has huge flowers in white, pink or red.

The bottom photo is ixora, which is only hardy in zone 10 or warmer.

Thank you so much!! It looks like I’m out of luck on the second one but I might can find something in the first for my zone. Thanks again for letting me know about them!!
