I'm not much of a Hibiscus person but I saw this for sale at Lowe's last weekend and it kind of blew me away. That had a few different cultivars, and I was taking pictures for the database. This one really tempted me. I don't know that I have a place it could grow in the ground, but I see it says it's suitable for large containers. Chris, you mentioned moving it to your greenhouse so do you grow it in a container? Also, if someone knows how much sun or shade they can take, that would be helpful. I know people around here generally plant Hibiscus in full sun - even here with Florida sun, but if I put it in a container, I might have to put it in some shade. I was wondering how that might affect blooming and overall growth. Oh heck, I'm probably going to convince myself I have somewhere to put in the ground. It's just so pretty!
