I was blessed with a couple hibiscus seedlings and 3 didn't survive the mailing, but one is still alive. I have it potted and, even though it still has 3 small green leaves, it doesn't seem to be growing at all. It was suggested I put the whole pot in the ground to winter over, but I live in zone 5b and it can get pretty harsh. Can I just keep it in my kitchen window like an indoor plant over the winter to give it some time to grow? I have never tried to grow seedlings or seeds before so sorry if this is a dumb question D'Oh! D'Oh! Also got some seeds and those are the ones I hope to remember to wintersow and see what happens. Should I save some of those and just start them in the Spring? Like I said - totally new to me Whistling Whistling
