Excellent plants for the smaller garden. Uses/Culture: *Hardy hibiscus is easy to grow and can be successfully planted in Zone 5, and with additional winter protection in Zones 3 and 4. Plants perform best with full sun, evenly moist soil and good air circulation. Hibiscus makes an excellent specimen plant or temporary hedging/screening.
