Is my hibiscus Fireball dead.

15 years ago

I know they take a while to break ground, but my favorite hibiscus, Fireball, hasn't sent up any shoots. I have tried to find green wood but cannot. It was planted close to the foundation and mulched during the winter.

Sorry to hear you're in the same situation. Fireball is a Fleming hybrid and is suppossed to be super hardy. We shall see.The common ones I have are all a foot tall.
