Hibiscus - October 17th, 2004 at 11:49 PM
I ordered some Hibiscus. When they came in, they are "dormant" bare roots with stems, looks dried out...almost like dead sticks. I want to get them started. Should I do this inside or would it be ok to start them outside now & will they make it through the winter? I don't want to harm them but I want to get my fall planting done & move on to other things. I'm really concerned, I've never done this before.
I, also, have some other bulbs that I I'm going to go ahead & plant in the ground. I think they'll be ok
They are:
Tulipa Clusiana Sheila (Red-Golden)
Glory of the snow (Pale Blue)
Anemone Blanda Blue Shade (Blue)
Brodiaea Laxa Queen Fabiola (Lilac)
Crocus tommas Ruby Giant (Violet-Blue)
Anemone Coronaria De Caen (Mix)
Allium Moly (Golden)
and some Poppy Anemone
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions or any information that might be helpful? I've never done this before but I read that getting bulbs in the ground in the fall makes for quick Spring flowering.
