I have a Blue river Hibuscus and it's huge it's taking up to much room in the garden. My questions is can I just plant it in the ground and not have it in the garden? I would have to move it in the spring before it starts growing. I think it would be as big as a tree if I did this.

They do get big don't they? I see no reason why you can't just plant it in your yard like you would any bush or tree. I have a ROS planted like that.

You can plant it pretty much anywhere as long as the lawn or something else doesn't en-couch and become an issue. Hibiscus do best with plenty of water, so make sure you can do that freely. Also consider it will be a blank spot until it gets growing. Expect a smaller plant the first year after transplanting. I have moved several hibiscus over the years for this very reason.

I have a White Hibiscus that is still about 3 feet tall after 3 years in a pot, a red one that's about 1'...I wouldn't mind if they get growing more...Now, I'll try to water more as Ron suggested... |

Well I guess I will be moving it in the spring. Nice to see you Ron glad you followed us.

Remember, some varieties are short by design, and others will indeed grow taller with more water. Thank you for the kind words gang, hopefully I can find more time to hang out. Ron www.gardening-for-wildlife.com |

Thanks Ron this is a tall one probably 6' tall so I think it will look good in the yard. Already planning for next year.
