I love the doubles! A friend of mine owns a little what-not store in our small town, but he has the most fabulous garden center during the summer and fall. He always has hibiscus, both in shrubs and topiary form. Last year, after he had marked everything down for quick sale, he GAVE me anything I wanted. I got several hibiscus and put them around the property. They really took off as the temps cooled and were beautiful right up until Christmas when I let them freeze by accident. I wanted to cover them up, but with a house full of grandkids, it got past me.

They’re both beautiful! I’ve never seen a double before. I would never have guessed that it’s a hibiscus.

Those are beautiful. When I lived on Merrit Island, I planted a hibiscus hedge. I loved it and so did my neighbor. We had no fences, I think he planted gardenias.
