Our Hibiscus love Summerville 7' 22

We were not sure how well our hibiscus would do in Summerville.  


They are all living in pots, and will remain  in pots until we can get the fireants under control and build th plants a raised bed.


We brought several hibiscus with us from Pawleys Island Our Hibiscus will remain  in pots until we can get the fireants under control and build them a raised bed.and  inspite of having their roots crammed into 3 - 7 gallon size pots,  all of them look healthy,  All but three of them have started blooming. They all seem to love it here.


Texas  Star AKA Swamp Hibiscus

Our Texas Star Hibiscus (Aka Swamp Hibiscus) was the first to bloom, which didn't surprise us as it is native to the South Eastern USA .


Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
 'Cooperii'

I was more surprised at how well the relatively rare Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Cooperii' with its beautiful tri-colored foliage is doing. 

 The plant is covered in crimson blooms.


Potted Hibiscus Head over Heels


Hibiscus Head over Heels

We are more-impressed with how spectacularly well  our Hbiscus Head over Heels Desire is performing after her move.  She is covered with massive dinner- plate size crimson blossoms which glow brightly against her purple foliage and has nearly doubled in size..
