Very nice looking Anna_Z. Show us some photos of your greenhouse too?

Gita,

I think I still have Kopper King but lost my Lord Baltimore. I have plenty of other hardy hibiscus as well as Rose of Sharon but always looking for new exciting varieties.

That Acalypha, tropical hibiscus, and a Croton 'Fireworks' share the same pot. I dug them out last year, stuck them in a pan bare root except the hibiscus which stayed in its original pot (yeah, I just bury the garden pot in the bigger pot to make it easy), kept them hydrated somewhat over winter. The Acalypha almost died (down to about six inches) but you can see how vigorous they can come back with sun, fertilizer, and some watering. That's great that yours survived winter outdoors in MD. Maybe I should try that - next year though.

Here is that croton (the only one I have).
