Hibiscus by Teri Eckholm REALTOR

 

In Minnesota we have a choice with our hibiscus plants, bring them indoors and hope they survive the eight months of less-than-ideal weather for tropical plants or rebuy them in the spring from Linder's or Bachman's. Up until last year, we chose the latter. But last fall we decide to take the plants in off our Ham Lake front porch and they survived,..though a bit ragged as our cat enjoyed chewing on the foliage. This was the first flower in late April after months in our somewhat cold sunroom. The conditions were not perfect but the plants survived.

This is a bit of a real estate analogy too...Conditions are less than ideal in the Minneapolis/St Paul real estate market but it will survive. The market in the Twin Cities has yet to rebloom but it is still alive and with proper care and a more time, it will eventually fully recover.

Some of my plants haven't made it this year. There are a few I tossed because they looked so poor.

That's a really pretty color on that hibiscus, Teri!  It almost appears like it was made out of crepe paper. . .Perfect in every way!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the comments...Just so you know I almost killed the plant during our record hot temperatures early this week. I was so busy watering the new ones, I forgot these. Still surviving though. :)
