Just bought a bunch of hardy Hibiscus to plant. I started them in large plastic garden flower containers with good garden composted soil. Right now they just have a root system and one small "bud" (?) poking out from them. I faced this part up to the sun as it looked a bit green on top. How long will it take them to grow? And should I water them well while they are growing or wait until they have leaves etc? Any other advice would be appreciated.
Questions about hardy Hibiscus?
Hibiscus are actually a dry , heat loving plant. Water too much and they will get scale, aphids, mites etc. Plants generally need water once a week for 15 to 20 minutes when they are in the ground. Use caution while watering hibiscus.

Hibiscus is a sleepy head!It takes some time to wake up in the spring time. It starts really taking off in Early June to July. They are also wetland marsh plants and require a lot of water. So don't worry about the soil getting soggy.
They should be flowering by June! The flowers are gaint up to 15in!
Reply:Hibiscus need heat and humidity to bloom. Water when the soil is dry. If it has come away from the side of the pot it's bone dry and shrinking, aerate before watering.
