I need help finding a picture of a hibiscus flower that has swirls coming out of it and that has stars at the end of the swirls...
I want to get something like that on my ankle, so it needs to be somewhat small.
I'm having trouble finding a picture, so i thought that i would check to see if any of you could help me out! =)
Also, please dont say "ask your tattoo artist to draw one for you" because i'm already aware of that option. Right now i just want to find some designs online. Thanks! =)
Hibiscus + star tattoo?
That is a VERY specific request! so unfortunately, you will probably not be able to find a design online...on the other hand, because it is specific, you can have someone create it for you. I myself am an artist, so if you just want some smaples, I'd be glad to draw up a few designs just for you to get a tate of it.

How do I get stickers off the window of my truck?
I put two stickers of those hibiscus flowers on my trucks back windows now i don't want them anymore because I have two skull stickers that don't go with pretty flowers. How would I take them off without the sticky crap getting stuck to my window?
How do I get stickers off the window of my truck?
two suggestions
GOO GONE
MINERAL SPIRITS
Probably equal in cost, different volume in a bottle, not at all harmful. Peel the sticker first, even if you need a razor paint scraper, then wipe with either solution, wash off the spot, let dry, apply new stickers
Reply:all you need to do is take a blow dryer on high heat and then pass it back and forth on the sticker, and it will heat up the glue and most of it will come off. There will be a little glue left after you peel off all you can and then you can scrape it with a flat razor blade( be careful) and that should help you remove the stickers..
ROSCoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Reply:Lightly apply a solvent to the sticker. Potential solvents include anything from lighter fluid, acetone, nail polish remover, vegetable oil, olive oil or a product called Goo Gone. Soak a paper towel in the solvent, and rub that soaked paper towel over the sticker until some of the solvent soaks into the sticker.
Wash hands thoroughly after using the solvent
Car wax also works excellent (not the liquid type). Apply a coat on to the surface, wait 3 minutes, and then remove the sticker. Liquid wax will not work!
Reply:Razor blade and soapy water they make adhesive remover
in a spray can you could by at Autobody store or you could
use fingernail polish remover on the adhesive. Actually
the fingernail polish remover would be the easiest way to get
the adhesive off after you use the razor blade
Reply:the blade you need is called a glass scraper from any diy shop another way is to use a hair dryer to heat it and it should curl off
do not use any spirits or strippers becuase any drips will remove your paint job
Reply:Get a paint scraper. That should do it. Personally, I'd keep the flowers and get rid of the skulls. You might want to try hot soap and water to soak the stickers off. Dish soap might work or laundry soap.
Reply:do to wallgreens and their is a liquid that is for removing stickers it wont leave a mark on your window......if you do it any other way the sticker glue is going to look ugly
Reply:Use a razor blade, preferably one from a paint shop so you dont cut yourself. Get a sponge, and hot water, soak it for a bit. Then use the razor blade it will be easier.
Reply:Scrape off the excess sticker first. Then to get the residual "sticky" off -- any oil will work. Use a cooking oil or baby oil. Then use Windex or a vinegar/water solution to clean the oil off. :)
Reply:Goof Off and a razor blade, you can get it at a hardware store.
Reply:A plastic spatula from the dollar store and a hair dryer to heat the sticker up first a little.
Reply:my way is kinda weird I use peanut butter and a paint chipper be careful though when you do it kinda unconventional.
Reply:Turps usually do the trick (the stuff you use to clean paintbrushes etc)
Reply:really liz...who the heck puts stickers on their truck...
stickers are for your postage...
Reply:Razor blade then wipe down with brake fluid or orange peal(oil).
Reply:razor blade (be careful) and a bottle of "goo be gone" can get it at any wal mart-ish or craft store
Reply:lighter fluid...........and a match

My hibiscus is dropping it's buds before they bloom?
I can't see any signs of bugs, and there are no animals where I live. They just drop off with a long stem attached. I have two bushes on either side of the tree and they flower just fine so I don't think I am under or over watering them. What should I do?
My hibiscus is dropping it's buds before they bloom?
First link covers questions about the care of the Hibiscus. Lots of questions and answers; some won't apply to yours, others may.
Second link, also caring for the plant, says the plant requires "a good amount of nutrients while growing and blooming".
I hope you'll be able to find an answer to your question. Best to you!
Reply:Are you having sudden climate changes?
You plant may also have disease.
There really nothing you can do

How do I paint my room without making it look childish?
I bought a new comforter that is light blue and light green with hibiscus flowers on it. What color or colors should I paint my room without making the room look childish? Also any recommendations on the color of the curtains? Thanks.
How do I paint my room without making it look childish?
To have complete color harmony in any room, you need 3 colors: 1 dominant (the wall color) 1 medium (the trim, molding, etc) and 1 accent color (the decorative objects such as comforters, pillows, cushions, paintings, vases, etc.) Keep in mind that black is not considered a color but the mixture of all colors and white is also not a color but the absence of color. It is however important to have a black element in any room, because this is what grounds all your colors together.
An ideal solution to choose paint colors in a room is to choose a decorative object and use one of the colors in that object. I'd go with your comforter. Choose one of the colors in the comforter that you like best and paint your walls that color. You can avoid it being childish by adding black as an element. Right now, black or charcoal molding and trim is REALLY HOT AND IN... Using black would give your room an asian feel, especially with hibiscus flowers. Add a few black vases, candle holders and maybe a black lamp and cushion on the bed. Even a black throw rug by the side of the bed (I'd opt for a bamboo rug). As for curtains, consider bamboo shades and add a couple of bamboo plants in the room (they are REALLY easy to keep alive!)
If it were me, I'd opt for the blue for the walls because blue is a very tranquil and appropriate color for a room.
If the black or charcoal doesn't do it for you, consider a neutral element, since your comforter is already busy enough. I still suggest a bamboo theme to the room (use a neutral beige bamboo color) and stay away from any beige that seems pink because this will make the room childish...
Enjoy your new room!
Reply:Go to Better Homes and Gardens web site, or DIY site and look at all the decorating pages. You're sure to find ideas there. I would pick colors a shade or two darker than those in your comforter and a complementary shade for the woodwork.
You could also take your comforter with you to the paint department to see what goes with it and ask for help. Lowes or Home Depot will be able to help you.
Reply:go with a neutal color and pick the curtains to match any of the smaller colors in the comforter

Can I have Tazo passion tea during pregnancy? I contains hibiscus flowers.?
ASK YOUR DOCTOR
Can I have Tazo passion tea during pregnancy? I contains hibiscus flowers.?
It makes me sad to read this question because women are so fearful about eating and drinking things.
It's hard to believe that tea made from hibiscus flowers could hurt you or your baby.
Reply:Last I heard hibiscus flowers were not dangerous during pregancy, and I'm sure Starbucks uses the fake stuff anyways.
Reply:Yes, you just have to limit your caffiene.
Reply:I love Tazo Teas. I don't see why you can't have them. You should go ahead and indulge... they are soo soothing...
Reply:I have been doing nothing but reading about what we can and cant eat for the past 8 weeks I have known I was pregnant, and I have never read anything aobut hibiscus flowers. I know intake of caffeine should be limited, thats the only concern with tea I know of. My doctor said my cup of white tea every day would be fine though, so I'm sure your tea will be fine as well.
I am sad I cant eat sushi though.
Reply:yes, thats my fav!!!
Enjoy!!

How much do touch upos usually cost?
I'm getting a little hibiscus flower on my foot (like 1in x 1in) and then there are going to be swirls coming from it and then 2 nautical stars. Since the skin on your foot sheds more often than other areas of your body, and since foot tars require touch ups more often than other areas, i was jusst curious how much a touch up usually costs. Thanks. =)
How much do touch upos usually cost?
I've had my tattoo on my foot for over two years now and have never needed a touch up. It's not faded at all. I imagine that the cost of touch ups change based on the shop, but I really don't think it's something you have to worry about at this point. Just enjoy your tattoo and worry about touch ups if/when the time comes.
Good luck!!
Reply:some artists will touch-up your tattoo for free if they did it originally, but that usually only happens if there where some original areas that need to be fixed. most places won't charge much for a touch up, but its up to your individual artist. a good way to figure out if you're willing to keep up with it would be to talk to whoever is going to be doing your piece.
Reply:usually half of the cost you ended up paying for the original. it also depends on how much of a touch up you need. sometimes an artist might redo the whole thing or just shade back in a certain lines so it really depends how faded or messed up it got.
Reply:well if it needs a touch up within a year the shop will normally pick it up but if your thinking of every 5 years than it all depends on the shop and what they got to do to it. all honestly ask your tattooist about it.
Reply:my tattoo artist does my touch ups for free. i'm not sure if they all do that, though. it shouldn't be too much, i'd say maybe $10-20

How do I get seeds *FROM* my hibiscus bush?
i'd like to grow another one from scratch so i was wondering if i could get them from inside the flower....?
thanks
How do I get seeds *FROM* my hibiscus bush?
take clippings and root them or u could jsut wait for the flower to dry up and open the seed pod. hope this helps
Reply:Sandy G is correct about the seeds falling %26amp; rooting themselves. If you will look under the plant that you have now
down by the roots, you will see new brances starting to grow, pull some up %26amp; pot in good soil in a pretty pot or just plant it in good soil in the spot that you want the next one to be.
Reply:After the flower dies, it may form a large, green, slightly pointed seed pod. Wait till the seed pod dries out and starts to open naturally. The seeds inside may germinate and produce a new hibiscus plant.
My hibiscus drops thousands of seeds every summer but only a very few ever germinate.
Reply:I don't know about from scratch but we have taken clippings several times over the years and rooted them . we then transplanted them into the yard. They are thriving well.
Reply:cuttings are the best way to propagate hibiscus

Hibiscus tree care?
I recently bought 2 hibiscus trees. When the flowers die and shrivel up I've been letting them fall off or else just pinching the flower off. Do I need to pinch off any of hte stem that the bud grew on or just pinch off the flower petal part ?
Hibiscus tree care?
For the houseplant Hibiscus rosa-china
Prefers a well-drained humus rich fertile soil in a warm, sheltered position in full sun[200, 260]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is not very frost-tolerant and needs to be grown in essentially frost-free areas. It might succeed outdoors in the very mildest areas of the country if given a very sheltered warm position. Alternatively, it might be possible to grow the plant as a tender annual by starting it off early in a warm greenhouse. If well-grown it can flower and set seed in its first year. This species grows very well in a frost-free conservatory in Northern Europe so long as it is in a sunny position and free from draughts[260]. Plants will often lose most of their leaves in cool winters, though they will normally regenerate quickly as the warmer weather returns[260]. The flowers of Chinese hibiscus are very important in Hindu devotional ceremonies, being sacred to the Elephant God, Ganesh[238]. Individual flowers are short-lived, in many modern cultivars the flowers wither after 24 hours though in many of the older cultivars they can last for 48 hours[260]. There are many named forms, selected for their ornamental value[200].
Propagation
Seed - sow early spring in a warm greenhouse. Germination is usually fairly rapid. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle. If growing them as annuals, plant them out into their permanent positions in early summer and protect them with a frame or cloche until they are growing away well. If hoping to grow them as perennials, then it is better to grow them on in the greenhouse for their first year and to plant them out in early summer of the following year. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame. Overwinter them in a warm greenhouse and plant out after the last expected frosts.
The flowers last only one day but are so numerous you get flowers all year as long as you give it plenty of sunlight.
You can prune the tree by pinching the branches 1/3 of the length of the branch. In fall or winter your hibiscus may drop leaves and become dormant. Just water when the soil is almost dry.
Other hardy hibiscus like the rose of sharon
Prune after flowers to the height you want if disired.
Reply:Just pinch the flower.

Where is the best place on my body to get a tattoo?
I want a small Hibiscus flower...probaly in red. I want to be able to cover it easily but I have heard that if you have a baby anything on your lower stomach or hips will get all freaky.
Where is the best place on my body to get a tattoo?
i would say get it on your foot, your hip (on the side, it doesn't stretch as much), on your rib cage, your shoulder, or one one side of your lower back. whatever you do, don't get it in the middle of your lower back. that's commenly refered to as "the tramp stamp" and it's so overdone. i have a feather that goes along the curve of my lower right back, just at my hip line. i like it very much and it really wasn't all that painful.
Reply:I'd go for something thats not cliche, like the "tramp stamp". I'm going for my inner mid-forearms.
Reply:Wherever it won't show when you are interviewing for a job.
Reply:I have a sea turtle on the top of my foot. Your ankle is also a cool place for a tattoo (right by your heal, under the ankle bone).
Reply:lower back. It makes gals look hotter :)
Reply:Be unique, get it on your Cecum. And while your at it get a college degree.
Reply:First, I think it depends on your dimensions and whether you want to see frequently. Second, NOT OVER YOUR ***! Tramp stamps are so passe' Third, not on your breast. That looks so slutty.
If you want something private and personal, you have to go to the lower stomach...that is why I mentioned the dimensions. Even if you get pregnant, things can go back to normal down there, if you work on it immediately.
Reply:Let me just say where you should not get a tattoo. The small of the back. Women who become pregnant and ask for an epidural that must be injected at the small of the back have had major problems.
Reply:When you get pregnant the skin stretches so your tattoo will get stretched out and nasty looking usually. I made a mistake and got 2 little clovers on my lower pelvic area. There's lots of places you can get a tatto and be able to cover it up. Depending on the clothes you wear, say you've got a 2 piece swimmin suit on and u want it covered still, get one on your butt, lower chest. Or just put on your normal clothes you wear and find out what spots are covered. I have 8 tattoos and I can cover them all up.. however that's wearing pants, long sleeve shirt, and shirt that doesn't show my belly. LOL basically being totally covered up. But if you are wanting a tattoo and that's something you are into then it should be something you want to show. Something that means something to you and you are proud of.
Reply:On your ankle. Please for the love of the art don't get a tramp stamp. Major turn-off because it is so played out.
Reply:a nice place on women is on either the right or left shoulder blade, looks cool in a tank top, but is easily covered with a t-shirt.
Reply:lower back is a great place for chicks to have tats done personally i think that is hott :-) but you must stand and imagine where it would look better for yourself not for other people i have four writing down my spine my bros name on the inside of my arm and then one on either arm so just think for urself where you would like it to be

Hibiscus, swirls and stars?
Anyone have pictures of a tattoo that involves a hibiscus flower, swirls and stars? Thanks!
Hibiscus, swirls and stars?
It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you want already. I would suggest finding an artist that you're comfortable with (look thru their portfolios for a style you like) and then talking to them about what you want. They should be able to take your ideas and put together something that is unique and you'll be much happier with.

a good tattoo artist will be able to draw it out to fit what you want exactly
and, it's a million times better than copying one

How to propagate different flowers?
I wish to find someone who can explain the seeding process of different flowers. I love working in my flowers. I don't have a big fancy garden, but I have expanded to different parts of my back yard - as money permits! I would love fo make sure that several of my annuals would or will be coming back next year. I live at the beach in North Carolina and the weather here is veray warm and we have mild winters. Occasionally it gets below 35 degrees. I also know by doing nothing a lot of my annuals will return next year, but that's doing nothing. Thus, if I learn how to propagate different flowers- such as gerber daisies, hibiscus flowers,and several others. I could continue to add flowers to my yard and not have to replant and buy the same ones again to replace the vacant areas. I really like flowers that are different - like yellow shrimp %26amp; bee balm. Is there anyone out there wanting to help me?
Thank you,

How to propagate different flowers?
The thing you need to know when saving seeds from any plant is wheather the plant will come true from seed. Alot of hybrid plants will revert back to the parent plant genes and therefore not be the same plant you started with. Some annuals are self seeders and come back every year.(rose moss,johnny jump ups,nigella,cleome etc...)
You can collect the seeds once they've dried and plant next season.(marigolds,morning glories,sunflowers etc...) And some plants can be propagated with stem cuttings. (begonias,coleus)
With perenials you can along with the above methods also propagate by root divisions.
There is really to much information you need to know and understand about plant propagation to put here. A good garden book will help you.
Best of luck and happy gardening!!

I HAVE A SMALL SPOT WHERE I PLANT THE NEW SEED SO I DON'T HAVE TO BUY A TON TO REPLANT THE ENTIRE YARD. I HAVE FOUND THAT AFTER 3-4 YEARS THE SEED KINDA LOSE THEIR 'MOJO' AND START GROWING WEIRD. A LOT OF FLOWERS WILL COME UP FROM SEED, SOME NEED REPLANTING IF YOU WANT THEM IN A ROW OR PATTERN. IN YOUR AREA YOU SHOULD HAVE A NICE LONG GROWING SEASON WHICH WILL PRODUCE A LOT OF STUFF.

Flowers that can go in arrangements with Hibiscus?
For my wedding I am having bowls with floating Hibiscus candles. What other flowers (wedding is in the fall) will go with the hibiscus?
I will be putting rose pedals on tables as well but want to make sure the other flowers around the room will not clash. Any ideas?
Flowers that can go in arrangements with Hibiscus?
gardenia blooms or magnolia blooms are nice
curly willow is a nice touch
bird of paradise if you are going for a tropical look.
good luck!
Reply:The first thing I would do is go talk to a florist. maybe they can help you to visualize and maybe even go to the extent of getting some silk lfowers and let you try various combinations.
Reply:what color is the hibiscus?
if it's red, you want to accentuate it by using white flowers around it.

What do you think about chinese symbol tattoos?
Do you like them? Think there stupid? Do you have one?
I'm thinking about getting one, but i dont really know. I've always wanted the 'love' symbol. But i'm scared that if the tattoo artist messes up a little bit it might change the meaning of the word and i'll be screwed.
What do you think about a hibiscus flower with the chinese symbol for "love" overlapping it in the corner? Would that look stupid? Anyone have a picture of what i just described?
Thanks.
What do you think about chinese symbol tattoos?
I'm chinese, and I have a chinese character for "Mother" on my back. I find it funny that people call them "symbols," they're actually words. But to foreigners, I would guess they look like symbols. hehe

Replace that character with love?
And by the way, the tattoo parlor did not have the "Mother" character "on stock," so I printed it from my computer exactly the size I wanted it. They put it through a machine to get a tracer paper of the tattoo in which they dip it with ink and stick onto your body like a sticker. After they pull it off, it will leave a print of the tattoo, which is how they actually tattoo you, by following the print. So if you're afraid they might mess up, print your own copy of the word and bring it with you.

Reply:I think they look kinda neat %26amp; have meaning but then they're really common.
Regardless of what tattoo you get, go to a reputable artist %26amp; check out his/her work beforehand. Your best shot would be someone experienced with Chinese symbols. You could also have a consultation ahead of time with whatever ideas you may have %26amp; see what looks right.
And I think a Chinese symbol with a flower would look fine, assuming the artist does a good job.
Reply:That would make a cool tattoo! I think it would look great on your back by the shoulder. Or were you thinking of putting it somewhere else? Just make sure you verify the Chinese character for "Love" before you permanently ink it on your body. I had a friend who asked for a tattoo of his name (Tom) in Chinese. There is no equivalent, but someone told him it was the character for soup because "Tong" (Cantonese for soup) sounded similar!

Where can I get Hawaiian curtains or Hawaiian fabric for a good price per yard?

I put extension rods in their window and then purchased the matching shower curtain hooks. You could save money by buying generic hooks rather than the matching ones. They make great curtains. They shower curtains have rows of Hibiscus flowers and rows of surf boards, and the hooks are hibiscus flowers and surf boards too. The other great thing about the curtains is that they are mildew resistant.

My hibiscus plant has stopped flowering . wat can i do for it at home without spendin much. i am in india?
In general-- hibiscus flower on new growth-- therefore, if you cut it back-- give it some fertilizer, it will put out new growth and it may bloom again.

I have a hibiscus under the eve of the house. It has gotten very leggy.?
I live in Central Florida. The Hibiscus has just gone crazy this growing season. I need to know if I can trim it back without doing harm to the plant. I know I will not get as many flowers but I am willing to make this sacrifice.
I have a hibiscus under the eve of the house. It has gotten very leggy.?
If you want your hibiscus to thrive and get a lot of flowers on it, you HAVE TO prune the leggy growth back hard to the second or third set of leaves from the trunk. New branches will grow from the stubs and get flowers.
If you just leave it, he longer the leggy growth gets, the fewer flowers you will have.
Reply:Is it trying to reach more sun? Why not move it rather than trimming it back.
Reply:If you trim it back, you will have MORE flowers, not fewer.
Reply:Go ahead and trim the plant. You will find that you'll get numerous new shoots below the cut, resulting in many more (but, possibly smaller) flowers, and will generally help the health of the plant.
I'm wondering, too, if it needs to be moved away from the eves a bit.

How fast do Azaleas and Hibiscus bushes grow?
I got flowering bushes for Mom's day and I'm curious how fast they grow. We live in Northern IL. Both bushes are hardy to -30 degrees F.
Azalea, now about 2 1/2' tall will mature to 7' tall 5' wide.
Hibiscus, now 2' tall, will mature to 6' tall and 8' wide.
Will Hibiscus only bloom in spring?
How fast do Azaleas and Hibiscus bushes grow?
You will find that azaleas are slow to moderate slow growers in northern IL. Hardy Hibiscus or Rose of Sharon is a medium rate grower. It blooms in late July/early August into Sept. Rose Mallow or perennial, herbaceous Hibiscus also blooms July-Sept.

How long do daffodil flowers last?
We have some daffodils that have started flowering and I was curious as to how long the flowers normally last. Will they die off in 2 days, or do they last longer?
Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know how long Hibiscus flowers are supposed to bloom for? I had a plant last year and the flowers tended to only last about 1 day and then started to wilt.
Thanks!
How long do daffodil flowers last?
The standard yellow cup daffodil will usually stay in bloom for about 8-10 days.
I have a little gardening trick that I've come up with to make them last longer - or seem to.
When you plant the bulbs, you plant them in a cluster. Lets say you have about 30 bulbs. Dig your hole about 7 inches deep and say 14-16 inches in diameter, put about an inch of peat moss at the bottom and water the heck out of it. Let it drain. Then you place 1/2 of the bulbs at the bottom of the hole, spacing them about 3-4 inches apart. Cover them with about 2 inches of soil so that you can still see the tops. Now, take the other half of your bulbs and place them on top between the other bulbs. You cover them and wait for spring.....When they come up, the top layer of bulbs will bloom first, and the bottom layer will bloom about a week later, giving the appearance that the daffs are blooming for a longer time.
You can do this trick with almost any bulbs. I've done it for years and it requires no different maintenence than if you plant them in a single layer.
Hibiscus blooms usually only last for a day. After they bloom, you can cut the blossom down to the stem to encourage them to continuously flower. If they are in a pot instead of in the ground, I use rose food on my hibiscus regularly during bloom time because they do deplete the soil of nutrients rather quickly.
Good luck!
Reply:Daffodil flowers vary. If it's in the garden and the weather is cool, maybe a week. If you have them as a cut flower two to three days. You need to keep the water clean and if they are with other flowers the "sap" in the daffodils can clog the stems of the other flowers.
As for the Hibiscus, it depend on the variety, but it has been my experience that a day is average.
Reply:Daffodils last forever, up to two weeks. Once they started to get a tad brown I clipped mine and they lasted another week inside.
I love daffodils
Reply:Daffodils, if left uncut, should last for two to three weeks. I just read an article in the Farmer"s Almanac though that says if you put daffoldils in a bouquet with other flowers, all of the flowers will wilt and die faster. The article recommends having cut daffodils by themselves and not with others. My hisbiscus blooms last one day. However, if you consistently remove the wilted or dead bloom, the plant will just keep on producing. My hibiscus plant produced as many a six blooms a day per branch as long as I kept removing the wilted flowers.
Reply:The blooms on daffs may last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on if they get wet, experience freezing temps, and moisture content of the soil. Hibiscus and other very delicate flowered plants normally only have blooms that last a day or 2. The good thing is that when dead headed (removing of spent blooms) they will thicken up and produce lots of blooms all at once, so the plant should appear full and bright with flowers.
Reply:Daffodils last almost two weeks, if the weather is cooperating.
When they start to bloom, do keep an eye on the weather forecast. If heavy rain, or a freeze is due I'll cut older flowers and place them in a vase indoors since heavy rain and freezing will be the end of them.
Reply:they die in about 2 weeks and stop blooming in 4. i would cut a few and freeze them so they last longer
Reply:Daffodil bulbs will last almost forever under the right growing conditions. The blooming period is 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on climate and cultivar.

Hibiscus is stretching out long branches but no flowers!?
I'm thinking that they are protesting the fact that they are still in pots and not in the ground. What do you think?
I have a little area near a privacy fence where I could plant them. This is TX, and it gets really hot. I could plant them with morning/aftnoon sun, or afternoon shade, or I could plant them where there is mostly shade. Opinions?
Thanks, y'all
Hibiscus is stretching out long branches but no flowers!?
Hibiscus are generally easy plants to grow and should pose few problems if cultural requirements are followed.
* SOIL: A rich, well-drained soil mixture is desirable. A good potting mix could contain two parts potting soil, two parts peat moss and one part perlite or vermiculite.
* TEMPERATURE: Being a tropical plant, the hibiscus does not tolerate cold temperatures. Warm temperatures are needed for flower buds to develop. Indoors, they should be grown in a warm, sunny location where daytime temperatures are no lower than 55°F; 65° to 75°F is best for optimum growth. Otherwise, if it is too cold, flower buds may drop off or fail to form altogether. Hibiscus cannot withstand extreme fluctuations of temperatures or humidity. Therefore, avoid placing them in drafty areas, near radiators, on TVs, or in entryways where they'll be blasted with cold air from time to time.
* LIGHT: Hibiscus require very bright light to bloom well indoors. A sunny western or southern exposure that has at least 4-5 hours of bright, direct light is best. The more light they have, the better they'll bloom, indoors or out.
* WATER: The soil should be kept relatively moist, not saturated. Never allow the soil to dry out to the point of wilting. Check the pot to make sure drainage holes are present. Water from the top of the soil down so that water runs out the bottom holes. This leaches soluble salts from the soil which would otherwise accumulate. It also ensures that the bottom roots are watered thoroughly. Excess water should be drained off. During the winter months, allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.
* FERTILIZER: Hibiscus are heavy feeders and require a balanced fertilizer such as a 20-20-20 or 10-10-10. Use at half the label recommended strength every 2-3 weeks when placed outside for the summer. Indoors, fertilize less often, using ½-strength formulation, every month or so in spring and summer; less frequently in winter.
* PRUNING: Pruning should take place in late winter to encourage a bushier plant. Any leggy growth that may have shot up can be selectively trimmed back to the rest of the plant. Hibiscus can withstand a fairly heavy pruning, so don't be afraid to give your plant a good haircut, especially if you want to maintain a smaller plant. Just remember you'll be pruning off flower buds in addition to the foliage, so it will take longer to bloom.
* PROPAGATION: The easiest method of propagating these plants is from vegetative cuttings. This involves taking 3"-5" cuttings from the strongest shoots available. Dip the cut ends in a rooting hormone compound, tap off the excess and stick in a small pot filled with a light potting mixture. Keep slightly moist and place in a well lighted area. After 3-5 weeks, they should develop a good root system and be ready for transplanting. In order to encourage a bushier plant once the cutting has rooted, cut or pinch off the top inch of stem to just above a leaf node, where a leaf joins the stem.
These plants benefit tremendously from being placed outdoors after danger of frost. However, before placing them directly in full sun, it is important to acclimate them to the brighter conditions. Begin by first moving the hibiscus to a porch, then to filtered light under a shade tree and finally into the bright sunlight.
Reverse the process in the fall so that the plant is indoors before the first frost. By easing the plant into the different conditions, one can prevent bud loss and minimize foliage loss.
Common Problems
Yellow leaves: Abrupt changes in soil moisture, air temperature or drafts. Avoid excessive watering especially with older varieties. Some yellowing is normal in spring or fall when growing conditions are in transition. Yellowing may signal need for fertilizer.
Bud drop: Too cold or too hot. Needs (daytime) 65°F-75°F to develop buds. Avoid drafts. Too little or too much water. Low light conditions.
Pests: Most common insects are aphids and spider mites. Keep foliage clean by washing periodically. Use insecticidal soap or insecticides labeled for use on hibiscus if necessary.
i recommend u use HVH Special Blend Hibiscus Fertilizer
note i keep my hibiscus in a flower bed
Reply:It sounds like they're not getting enough light. Plants that don't get adequate light get "leggy," and often don't bloom. All the hibiscus plants I've ever seen do well in full sun; Houston with its humidity should be an excellent location.
Reply:they just need planted in ground i would plant in sunny place to the south, i have one in half shade and it is growing slow, the other in sun is growing faster and have a lot of saplings. they r the easiest plant i can go besides cactus
Reply:put them in the ground and be patient, some plants take forever to blossom, once they take off its like never being able to stop them, in the pots they are probably root bound (means they have out grown the pot)
Reply:I am just south of Houston and have three that bloom well. But they are in the ground. None get a lot of light all day long. You will do well if you put them in larger pots, fertilize appropriately, and prune them next spring.
I have a little area near a privacy fence where I could plant them. This is TX, and it gets really hot. I could plant them with morning/aftnoon sun, or afternoon shade, or I could plant them where there is mostly shade. Opinions?
Thanks, y'all
Hibiscus is stretching out long branches but no flowers!?
Hibiscus are generally easy plants to grow and should pose few problems if cultural requirements are followed.
* SOIL: A rich, well-drained soil mixture is desirable. A good potting mix could contain two parts potting soil, two parts peat moss and one part perlite or vermiculite.
* TEMPERATURE: Being a tropical plant, the hibiscus does not tolerate cold temperatures. Warm temperatures are needed for flower buds to develop. Indoors, they should be grown in a warm, sunny location where daytime temperatures are no lower than 55°F; 65° to 75°F is best for optimum growth. Otherwise, if it is too cold, flower buds may drop off or fail to form altogether. Hibiscus cannot withstand extreme fluctuations of temperatures or humidity. Therefore, avoid placing them in drafty areas, near radiators, on TVs, or in entryways where they'll be blasted with cold air from time to time.
* LIGHT: Hibiscus require very bright light to bloom well indoors. A sunny western or southern exposure that has at least 4-5 hours of bright, direct light is best. The more light they have, the better they'll bloom, indoors or out.
* WATER: The soil should be kept relatively moist, not saturated. Never allow the soil to dry out to the point of wilting. Check the pot to make sure drainage holes are present. Water from the top of the soil down so that water runs out the bottom holes. This leaches soluble salts from the soil which would otherwise accumulate. It also ensures that the bottom roots are watered thoroughly. Excess water should be drained off. During the winter months, allow the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.
* FERTILIZER: Hibiscus are heavy feeders and require a balanced fertilizer such as a 20-20-20 or 10-10-10. Use at half the label recommended strength every 2-3 weeks when placed outside for the summer. Indoors, fertilize less often, using ½-strength formulation, every month or so in spring and summer; less frequently in winter.
* PRUNING: Pruning should take place in late winter to encourage a bushier plant. Any leggy growth that may have shot up can be selectively trimmed back to the rest of the plant. Hibiscus can withstand a fairly heavy pruning, so don't be afraid to give your plant a good haircut, especially if you want to maintain a smaller plant.

Hibiscus plant for cold climates?
I live in upstate NY which is growing zone 5. One of my neighbors has a hibiscus with large 6 inch maroon flowers. The place where she bought it went out of business and I would like to know where I can get one. Thank you.
Hibiscus plant for cold climates?
You'll want to look for hibiscus moscheutos. I have 3 plants that I started from seed. You could ask your friend to save some seed for you. Very easy to do if you're a winter sower. For info on winter sowing... http://www.wintersown.org. It's so easy! Mine bloomed the first summer after planting.
There are a lot of resourses if you're interested in purchasing the plant. You can google in the name hibiscus moscheutos for nurseries that sell it. I know Bluestone Perennials http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/b/bp/... has some...not sure who else.
Reply:I think that I got mine a couple year ago at Home Depot.

I'm going for Tattoo #5 soon I know im getting 2 Hibiscus flowers cant decide what color or style to get help!
I am not sure about you but color is an improtant thing for a tattoo and letting other people decide the color is not always the ebst way to go about it. Instead try to think about colors that are attractive to you. What colors and shades of colors do you like to wear in clothing? That might help you narrow it down.
Hibiscus tattoos typically can be done in a vareity of colors but typically softer colors work better. Blue and pink are very common but that doesn't mean you ahve to go that direction.
I'm going for Tattoo #5 soon I know im getting 2 Hibiscus flowers cant decide what color or style to get help!
You can do pink and orange, or a bright blue. Just don't do white because it will fade over a few years and you'll have to get it redone. I would keep the style simple, if you want heres a website that might help:

Reply:teal and orange- great color combo.
Reply:stick with pinks, yellows, and white shading for your flowers. it's not only the color of the real hibiscus flowers, but it will bring out the any other colors. and it looks great with a tan.
Reply:well there is only one way to style a hibiscus, the origional hawaiian way!!!! if you cant find a pic of it go to your local tattoo parlor and tell them what you want!!!!
Reply:I think you shouldn't get a color... get a black shading instead. I don't know if that's the right term, so I hope you know what I mean. I've never seen hibiscus flowers like that, but I think it would look really pretty.

How long until a Hibiscus Plant Blooms?
I repotted a hibiscus plant about three weeks ago and some buds have formed but as of yet no flowers? Watered everyday and receives 6 hours direct sunlight per day. Leaves are healthy and looks great overall. Is this normal?
How long until a Hibiscus Plant Blooms?
buds take what seems like forever to develop and open but six weeks is not out of range, temperature will slow them if it is low. You will be able to tell if you are getting close when you begin to see color and as the petals develop you will be a couple of days away from a fully opened flower when the end of the buds are no longer pointed and closed but the petals form a little circle (kind of like the end of a straw). When plants are outdoors in full sun with temps in the 80's and 90's buds grow to maturity in a couple of weeks and are very numerous. Remember though each bloom only lasts about a day as a fully opened flower.
Reply:The more sun and water...the more blooms. Let it get a little more sunlight. I have one that gets more and one that gets two hours less. There is a huge difference in the number of blooms.
Reply:Mine isn't blooming yet, but then we're having a drought and I never water it. It grows back every year though, it's about 4 ft tall now, but no blooms. (Don't treat this as gardening advice, my thumb isn't green, it's more of a brownish grey)
Reply:I hope those 6 hours of direct sunlight are from the morning. they don't like the afternoon direct sun. Usually if you see bloom it doesn't take long to bloom. They need the heat, the sun and the water... careful on that water every day unless your in a drought area. Another indication that your plant is healthy, your leaves looks great...it's normal just be patient! And sorry but the flower only last one day.

"It smells like hell and tastes like heaven," is a common description of the durian, the national fruit. This large green fruit has a hard and spiny exterior containing several soft, edible segments. Because of its pungent smell, Malaysians also like to say that eating durian is "like eating ice cream in a toilet." Despite its smell, it is by far the most loved fruit in the country, and negotiations for a single fruit can easily last ten minutes. Durians are also reputed to be phenomenal aphrodisiacs.

Does Scotland have an official flower?
I should definitely know this but I want to get a rib piece with vines and flowers done with the Scottish motto [no one provokes me without impunity]. I was hoping to use a flower that is important in Scottish culture..but I can't seem to find anything.
I don't really want to use hibiscus flowers or cherry blossoms although I'm sure it would be gorgeous..it just wouldn't make much sense to me.

Questions about hardy Hibiscus?
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.
Reply:Is this the right species? Hibiscus moscheutos
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.

What is the best way to take care of a hibiscus?
I live in coastal southern California, so it's not the weather. Do they need LOTS of fertilizer to stimulate growth? Do they need to be planted in deep ground? All the leaves seem to fall off and come back much smaller and it blooms very small flowers or not at all. I have it potted on my patio. Just wonder if hibiscus only do well if planted in the ground.....thanks
What is the best way to take care of a hibiscus?
I live in Michigan so mine are potted. They do need a lot of water and experience has taught me they love eastern exposure. Mine are indoors for the loooonngggg winter and they never go dormant or get spindly. In fact they bloom all winter long. I dont fertilize them enough for it to make a difference. Once in a while in the summer I will hit my other outdoor plants with a shot of Miracle Gro so I do the hibiscus at the same time.
Definitely try the eastern exposure and maybe try cutting them back. I have never cut mine, but I know my mom cuts hers back in the winter.
Good Luck!!!
OH- also make sure the container is plenty big enough and they arent choking themselves being in a container that is too small.
Reply:hick up is because you breath in to fast drink water.
Reply:I 'd say that the best way to take care of hibiscus would be to plant it in the deep ground ONLY if he ground is rich in chrlophine and moist soil. This is common soil and can be found at any retail outlet like Lowes or Home Depot and somethimes i get my soil from Soil Barn but they probably don't have that in California. I live in New Jersey where gardens are popular because we are the garden state but when i used to live in southern california i would always get gardening supplies and soil from gas stations home depot or Lowes and sometimes they even had it at Shop Rite but not all the time. So to grow great hibiscus you need to put it in deep soil full of Chorophine and moisture rich soil then the hibiscus will grow to a great size with blooming flowers. I caution you to not give it too much sunlight and to water it constantly. that way you will have a healthy plant. Happy Planting!
Reply:give her plent of sunshine and plant it in some good soil. fertalizers might do a bit of good but cow dung works the best

What type of Hibiscus plant is used to make tea?
We had hibiscus tea in Sudan . It is called" karkadeh". It is dark red/purple. I would like to make this tea from the flowers.
What type of Hibiscus plant is used to make tea?
Karkade (pronounced "KAR-kah-day") is a sweet tea Karkade is the Arabic word for the roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa).
Karkade is a tart, bright-red hibiscus beverage that can be served hot or chilled with ice. It is very popular in some parts of the Middle East (especially North Africa). This drink is said to have been consumed in ancient Egypt and was reputedly a preferred drink of pharaohs. In Egypt and Sudan, wedding celebrations are traditionally toasted with a glass of hibiscus tea. On a typical street in downtown Cairo, one can find many vendors and open-air cafés selling the drink to both the local crowd and curious tourists.

It's very simple to make: 1 cup karkadeh (Hibiscus Flower Petals) and water and sugar.
* In a jug, pour boiling water.
* Add karkadeh and sugar.
* Stir till sugar dissolves.
* Leave for a couple of hours till water becomes dark red.
* Drain karkadeh in a fine hole sieve to leave out karkadeh leaves.

I just got hibiscus flowers tattoo'd on both feet the one foot looks gr8t the other is cloudy, WHY?
Hmmmm if you mean that one foot is not as bright as the other or is blurry...it could be several things...they type of ink used, the artist got heavy handed on that foot, all the moving and bending the foot does that it's pushing out the ink. Are you wearing shoes that rub your tattoos? This too can have a HUGE affect on your tattoo. Or it can be the way one foot is healing different from the other. Wait until both feet are completely healed (no scabbing, flaking or tenderness and the "shininess on the tattoo is gone) then go back and see the artist that worked on you. Good luck and I hope this helps.
I just got hibiscus flowers tattoo'd on both feet the one foot looks gr8t the other is cloudy, WHY?
I can't tell you for sure but when I got my foot tattoo I was warned that it's a very hard place to tattoo on the body and that they often don't come out as planned. :( If your unhappy go back and see if it can be fixed...or find a different tattoo place and check with them.
Reply:alright, I have 22 tattoos and I'm not sure what you mean by cloudy!
Do you mean it's blurry? Like the colors are more blended than the other foot?
Could be the artist used more ink in some spots.... had a heavier hand on that foot ... maybe that foot twitched more and caused the artist to tattoo in the wrong spot.
My answers are confusing me.. I'm still trying to picture it being blurry.

What is the best fertilizer for hibiscus plants, and is it ok to apply now in Florida?
My 24 hibiscus plants are about 8 months old and about 3-4 ft. high. The dozen on the West end of the fence line is thriving, but the plants on the East side of the fence look puny and have few leaves or flowers. Not sure why...
Thanks for your help.
What is the best fertilizer for hibiscus plants, and is it ok to apply now in Florida?
Check for small fuzzy white or pink bugs in the stem and leaf junctions. You may have mealie bugs in the ones that are not thriving. It may also be due to poor light. Are the sickly ones in different light?
Use Lesco 13-24-6 with micros. It's great stuff. You buy it at Lesco Distribution Centers. They sell mostly to landscapers but they will sell to the public.
Yes, its OK to put it out now if you are south of Orlando.
Reply:Nitrophoska blue is good, but there are many fertilizers on the market that are specific for hibiscus.

Pictures of purple Hibiscus flowers?
My grandma recently was admitted into the hospital and isn't doing well, so I've decided to get a Hibiscus flower tattooed on my shoulder in her honor (she had them planted all over her yard). I want a purple one because it's her favorite color, but I'm having a hard time finding pictures of ones in purple. I've looked on Google, but there's mainly one's in other colors, and maybe 3 or 4 in purple.
Anyone know of good links to any photos of some?

Reply:I had very little luck finding ones in purple so if you can, find many different shades of purple. Like go to a hardware store by the paint and get the paint samples they have on the little paper things. Take them to your grandmother and ask her to choose her favorite. Then you can just take that color and the picture of the flower you like to the tattooer.
Good Luck!!!
And I am very sorry to hear about your grandmother.

What is best way to root Hibiscus plant?
What is the best time of year and method to root a large Hibiscus. This plant grows large stalks, 3-4 ft.long witha base about 1" in dia. It produces a large flower about 8-10 in.in dia.
What is best way to root Hibiscus plant?
i've transferred many hibiscus plants %26amp; have never had any trouble whatsoever...in my experience (I live in the middle of Missouri) these are some of the easiest %26amp; most forgiving plants to deal with. Simply wait until fall die-off, then cut the stalks back to about 3-5 inches above the ground. When digging, try pushing the shovel straight down into the ground, then angling under the plant to get as much of the root ball as possible. After you replant, make sure to really soak the soil around the plant. If you're transporting the plant from one place to another, a five gallon bucket full of water %26amp; MiracleGro will keep the roots safe until you get it to the new spot.
Reply:To Tell You The Truth, There Is No True Way To Uproot Any Plant. Plants Tend To Grow Peacefully, Spreading Their Roots Wherever There Is Nutrients. Once Uprooted, The Plant Is Disturbed And Go's Into A Panic (Kind Of Like A Fish Out Of Water) And Starts To Regroup All The Chloroplasts, And Eventually Die...Have Fun.....
Reply:do it in the fall after it dies we move ours the roots will break up but the main root should do well be sure to water a week or two after the broken off ones will also produce it will take as much as two years in some cases

Tattoo artists are usually really good about combining words with designs. If you've got a tattoo artist or shop in mind I'd ask them what they think. I think it is great idea myself, but I'm not a tattoo artist, so I probably don't see things the way they do.

My Hibiscus hasn't flowered in 2 years, is this normal?
I haven't changed where it is located, regular with food and water
My Hibiscus hasn't flowered in 2 years, is this normal?
If you have not changed your plant's location in two years, i assume it is in a container and not planted in the ground. So I'm also going to guess you have not transplanted your Hibi in two years, if this is true you could have a root problem, if the roots are in bad condition there is'nt any amount of fertilizer or water or sun that is going to help. It will only make things worse. You also did'nt say where you live, but Rose mallow Hibiscus are perennials in zones 4-9, if your in these zones, try planting you tree in the ground. They do best in full sun but will tolerate light shade, prefer moist soil,they like ground liberally supplemented with compost, leaf mold, or other organic material. If you do transplant you tree, add a time released fertilizer at the bottom of the hole, time released does not burn the roots and last for a few months, where as water mixed fert's do not. It's ok to feed with liquid fert., but with a gentler dose, say 10-10-10, this also applies to container grown plants, time released is important added to the soil, this way you only have to overhead feed once a month or not at all if your plant is green and healthy, when you check out your root system, make sure it has thick white strong roots, if you transplant to another pot or to the ground, score the roots, loosen them with your hand, if the roots are brown, cut off the brown and replant into your newly ammended soil. Hope your flowers come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply:Hibiscus flowering is directly related to the amount of HEAT they recieve. You could try placing bricks under the potted plant or around the planted plant to collect heat. (mulch over the bricks to disguise them) good luck
Reply:Has its exposure to the sun changed? For example, is there a tree nearby that has grown and blocked some of the much needed sunlight? Also, overfertilizing can cause a plant to grow like crazy and since it is so busy growing, it doesn't have the energy to bloom. There is a product on the market called Super Bloom by Greenlight that is created as a booster for plants who have a hard time blooming. When fertilizing for a bloom, the higher the middle number, the better, for example, Super Bloom is 12 - 55 - 6, where as Miracle Gro is 12 - 6 - 6. Check the amount of sun exposure and if you are fertilizing a lot, then back off and if you aren't fertilizing enough, then go get some Super Bloom - that should take care of your problem! Good Luck!

I enjoyed researching this question...turns out that there is a lot of symbolism connected to the hibiscus, although what it meant in your dream you will have to work out. Hopefully some of this information will help you come up with some insights. And thank you for sharing this wonderful dream you had!
From a lovely essay online:
"The meaning of hibiscus: Seize the opportunity. Rare beauty. Delicate beauty. Inspired by love. It lasts only one day though, then wilts. So does that mean love will one day wilt, too? That wouldn’t make any sense because hibiscus is consumed by love. Maybe it means that an opportunity should be seized before it wilts. Opportunity of what? Take the risk and prepare to be shut down, like the hibiscus closing its petals after a day. The delicate beauty and petals of the hibiscus is like the emotions of human beings--something that vulnerable shouldn’t be messed with. The beauty of hibiscus are rare, like finding love. Love is rare. Right. Love is rare. The hibiscus is also inspired by love. Addicted. Always thinking of love. So in a way you are like the hibiscus? In a way. I guess. Fragile and delicate, always consumed with love. It inspired a poem.
Pretty Red Hibiscus

Pretty red hibiscus
I've admired you right from the start
Pretty red hibiscus
You're the flower of my heart
Every day you're fairer
Than the fairest flower that grows
Pretty red hibiscus
You're beautiful everyone knows
Though you may not be scented
Like the other flowers are
But when the day has ended
You're as fair as an evening star
Pretty red hibiscus
I've admired you right from the start
Pretty red hibiscus
You're the flower of my heart
The hibiscus was fiery red. Red, symbolizing passion, courage, action, spontaneity, and impulsiveness. Was it a coincidence? Or was it fate that I was given a red hibiscus and not the nearby yellow roses? The color of red also means love, anger, power, danger, heat, and warning. Love. Passion. Danger. Heat. Warning. The color fits, the flowfriendship, beauty, inspiration, selfless acts of love. The meaning of the colors have a connection don’t they? I think it means that although love isn’t there anymore, it will never die.

Reply:Dreams are funny things. You might want to start with how you feel when you see a hibiscus or hear the word. Sometimes a dream is just your mind sorting out things, beauty, light and air. Some facts, Hibiscus has many varieties and some are use for tea.
The word may be of Celtic background.

Dried Hibiscus please..anyone know of a local stockist !!?
Does anyone know where i can buy some dried Hibiscus flower ( tea/drink making type) from local to me please (worksop/nottinghamshire) not the rosehip etc blended teabags available in chemists health -stores- the real stuff like i had on holiday in egypt recently..have some awaiting delivery i bought over the internet..but with the mail strike i.m still waiting delivery after a fornight from being despatched..(yes it was a reputable supplier so the problems not there!!)
any leads would be appreciated - .willing to travel within reasonble distance
Dried Hibiscus please..anyone know of a local stockist !!?
If from your references your in the UK as a former chef and frequent visitor the country, try your local West Indian or Jamaican store, and as for sorrel flowers, it is a form of hybicus from the islands.
Also any store with a Polynesian stock of products, even a local health or nutritional foods shop, at the West Indian/Jamaican store there generally sold in bags, a around 10-30 grams they look like red tea bags all dried out, I use one in a cup of hot water with a dash of lemon and honey for sweetener, you can also add them to a pot of regular teas for flavour and colour.
Here in Canada I get them very inexpensively at my local Jamaican shop, so you may have do some searching check the local directory for the place in you area, but you may need to make a trip out of town to a larger city like London, Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool.
Reply:The only thing i would suggest to try a chinese herbalist.(search in yellow pages) I know they blend their own teas, so they may just have Hibiscus.

When is the best time to plant a hibiscus in the North East, an what is the best way to care for a hibiscus?
I have searched all over the internet trying to find a specific answer for the right way to plant a non-tropical hibiscus in the North-East, my home state of WV. Also to see what is the best way to care for this beautiful flower type? Mainly I wanted to know the best time of the year to plant the hibiscus %26amp; what if any thing special is involved with the planting of the hibiscus. My Mother %26amp; GrandMother both have purchased some hibiscus seeds %26amp; are excited to get them in the groud, but asked if I could find out on line the best way to plant %26amp; to care for them to be certain before they do plant them. Thank You so very much for your time %26amp; answering this question for me an my family. If you have any other questsions please feel free to e-mail or IM me. Thank You so very much once again as I know your time is valuable!!
When is the best time to plant a hibiscus in the North East, an what is the best way to care for a hibiscus?
Okay, looks like you are the same zone that I am in so, as a result, you can plant you perennial hibiscus now. Oh, wait, are you planting seeds or established plants. If already established plants then plant now. If seed then wait until spring. There is nothing special about planting or caring for them. They like full sun and they don't like to have wet feet so make sure you don't over water them. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Other than that their care is similar to any other plant in the garden. Be aware that hibiscus flowers only survive one day, but they keep producing all summer long.
Good Luck

Using Hibiscus flowers?
Has anyone used Hibiscus in their centerpieces and/or bouquets? I'm having a really tropical wedding and Hibiscus is my favorite flower. Are they hardy enough for arrangements? I can't find them on florist websites. Anyone with any information would be super helpful. I can't find squat!!
Using Hibiscus flowers?
I dreamed of having hibiscus for the longest time then the florist told me they were not an option. For one they wilt to fast after being "picked" and second they close up at night and open again in the morning, considering my wedding was in the evening that was not an option to have even the plants. Maybe you could just have the plants as decorations. Im sorry the hibiscus wont work any other way. I was just as disappointed as you are!
Reply:Awww, I love hibiscus flowers. I got this idea shot down by the florists. They said the flower does not last long enough. They did suggest silk hibiscus though. Hard to find also. Check at your local greenhouses, and ask them. An alternative would be a peony, it's another tropical flower that you can find a bit easier.
Reply:As far as my experience with hibiscus' goes (I am not a florist but have put them in arrangements before) they wilt very quickly. They really don't last long at all. The only thing I can suggest would be to have 'fake' ones... they can still look quite nice.
Reply:I have heard that they are not too hardy. Sad too....they are a beautiful flower!
