There's something for everyone â from soccer and baseball for team-oriented kids, to tennis, fencing, karate, dancing, and swimming for kids who'd rather go solo. Don't be surprised if it takes a few tries â or a few seasons â to find the sport that's right for your child.
Hardy hibiscus also benefits from warm temperatures for bud growth; approximately 68 F is ideal. Unlike tropical hibiscus, the hardy varieties will survive freezing temperatures, although flowering will reduce. Provide a 12-inch layer of mulch to protect your hibiscus if there is a chance of frost in your microclimate.
An evergreen shrub with abundant flowers, hibiscus is most often planted as a shrub in outdoor landscaping. It is possible to grow hibiscus in containers indoors if you have a spot that receives full sunlight for at least six to eight hours a day. If you live in an area that is too cold in winter for outdoor hibiscus, another option is to move hibiscus outdoors to patios or balconies during the warm months and indoors for winter. Attending to the specific needs of your hibiscus will encourage it to grow healthy and strong, even inside.
