OK--To belabor this point to infinity---I cut back my mutant Hibiscus to about
6" from the soil--plus or minus.... I will take it down to my Shop for the winter--
mostly out of curiosity to see what it will look like next summer.

Also--took pictures to show, those that insist that it may have grown from
some kind of suckers or root stock for something else--that that is impossible.

SO--to prove to you once more--here are some pictures of the base of the plant.
Now that I have cut all the tops off--it is better visible.

Can we dig a hole in the ground and bury this idea of underground suckers
being responsible for the mutation of the leaves?
I am satisfied thinking it is some natural mutation--even if it is hard to believe.

Here is the ase of the Hibiscus. any smaller growths you see are roots.
