I woke up to not just one but two gorgeous blooms on my overwinterd hibiscus this morning. I think all that snow reflected more light into the window and could have helped.
Gosh I dont know they type except each summer/spring Sams's club gets pallets of them for a reasonable price and I took that bait. Its a firey orange color but they had reds and yellows too.
Not nearly that tall. I've kept some for years, and they seemed to top out around 5 or 6 feet. I think most of the ones sold in the big box stores are Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, but I won't swear to it.
