Northeast US gardeners: do your hibiscus winter well?

Advice WantedNortheast US gardeners: do your hibiscus winter well?

Posted October 5, 2024 by Turtlefuzz in Gardening

Hi ladies, I bought a baby hibiscus this summer because it was cute and cheap. I have it outside in a pot right now. I'm planning on bringing the pot inside once the night temps get below 50.

Does anyone have a hibiscus in New England, and does it survive the winter? Do you need to feed it or fertilize it in any way to survive inside?

Thanks for any tips! I'd like to keep this alive because I love tropical hibiscus.

I don't like it either; we are def in the Upside Down. Still, the first thing I thought is this is about how angry these young people are, how the first thing they think is vicious. For the whole 'be kind' generation, they are they least friendly, least happy, most aggressive and quick to judge generation I have seen. What the hell hath the internet and the destruction of education wrought?

They only run their mouth like that when they think they can get away with it. I guarantee she wouldn't have been such a little smart ass outside of her 'safe' space.

This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.

If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.

Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.

Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.

Guidelines:

Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.

Rules:

No exchanges. Don't give anyone your address.
Don't ask anyone for their specific location.

Additionally, the Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
