So my wife brought home two braided hibiscus' about two feet tall and demanded that I plant them by the house haha! Well I did and afterwards thought to myself, aren't these warm weathered plants?
Well am I gonna have to break the news to the wife that there not going to make it? Or what can I do to help it get through the cold seasons ?
I'm in zone 8b and my hibiscus(s) die in the winter and resprout in the spring. Not so sure you will get that lucky and they certainly will not come back braided (lol). You're going to have to break the news to her or jsut let nature take it's course.
You can always pot them and move them inside. I have to do this with voodoo lillys. Of course these bloom in February and my house smells like rotten meat for 4 days!
It is I have 3 that are mature and bloom every year. I'm not sure if I'm happy they seem to bloom in a rotation or if they bloom all at once. Not sure which would smell the worst. I like the single leaf tree like shape it has when it is summer.
LOL. I thought you were kidding. Didn't Mr Wilson (Dennis the Mennis neighbor) have one of those on display at his back yard garden show? Stunk up the entire neighborhood. :laugh::laugh: Are you Mr Wilson? :laugh::laugh:
The smell doesn't take over the whole house just the laundry room where I keep them. Plus they only get smelly for about 3-4 days out of the year. I personally would never have them it was the wife's idea.

One survived barely through the winter. Had about 12 leaves on it when it went back out in the spring. It is now full of leaves but no signs of any flowers
