Anyone plant Hibiscus whats your experience with this plant

I don't know about growing it myself, but let me offer you a delicious suggestion: In Mexico, this beautiful plant grows in nearly every back yard. If you dry the flower's leaves, you can use it to make hibiscus water (very typical of Mexico). Brew it like tea, then sweeten it with honey or sugar, and serve chilled. It's like the Ferrari of Kool-Aid's (not to mention healthy- lots of Vitamin C).

Hibiscus is definitely a tropical plant. I have mixed success with them and I live in north Florida. They really don't handle hard freezes very well. I have had several plants that have come back from a hard freeze, but not always. It's kind of iffy. If they do come back from a freeze, they always start small again. If you want a big bush for your yard, you would have to keep them covered during freezes. I have really lost more than I have saved.

Guess they are not a flower for my garden, where I come from it's very cold most of the year.

It all depends on the variety... there are hardy hibiscus that survive Ontario winters. I have a hardwood variety, and neighbours have a softwood variety that they cut down to the ground at the end of the season, and it'll come back up the next year. Ask at a nursery. A popular name for these is "Rose of Sharon". Some have blooms as big as dinner plates!

hibiscus is a tropical plant, in case you want to experiment planting one, better place it in a pot. So you can easily transfer the plant indoor or outdoor depending on the weather/temperature. go to this link for more info on hibiscus care. http://www.exotic-hibiscus.com/care
