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.
A tropical hibiscus tree is a perennial flowering shrub that has been carefully pruned until it achieves a tree-like shape. Plant tropical hibiscus outside in the garden in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 11, according to the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Services. If you live in a colder climate, plant your hibiscus tree in a pot and bring it inside for the winter.
