Now, I have seen it all! One of my favorite BIG local stores, had pallets and pallets of beautiful fully leafed out hibiscus plants for sale. I asked the clerk that was arranging them, what people are supposed to do with them so early in the year? She said, "I don't know, but we are sure selling alot of them." I guess customer satisfaction or success is not a factor in the sale. It doesn't matter as long as we are 'selling alot of them.' Naturally, I spoke to the manager on my way out. Why, oh why does this happen. She claimed they have no control about what they get and when they get it. WOW. That is really a poor management strategy. "I" however, do have control over what I get and when I get it. I sell it when it's ready and the time is right! I am commited to gardener success not dissappointment. Could you have success now with a mature hibiscus, yes - if you have a sunroom. These plants are nursery grown under perfect ideal conditons, if you can replicate that - you are in luck!
