Ooo, a new forum for my question! Big Grin

I bought two Hibiscus at the State Botanical Garden of GA sale: one was 'Moy Grande' and the other 'Pink Elephant'. They were selling them in the dormant state but a few varieties were showing signs of life. My 'Pink Elephant' is growing but 'Moy Grande' is just sitting there looking rotten. I popped it out of the pot and examined it and found a lot rotten roots. The crown has some rotten looking spots and some firmer spots. I thought I had picked out one that had some live looking roots, but I apparently shuffled the pots around wrong because this plant's root system doesn't look the same. I think managed to play the shell game against myself! Hilarious!

So, is 'Moy Grande' often later to emerge than other Hibiscus moscheutos (since it's actually an interspecific hybrid) or did I pay for a dead plant?

Thanks for advice! Smiling
