Yellow hibiscuses that aren't yellow!

17 years ago

Help please. On 3 occasions in the last few weeks, I have bought hibiscus plants (different sources). Each one had at least one bloom and the bloom was a bright pure yellow colour. However .......... the next morning (all 3 of them), the blooms had changed colour to pale salmon-orange and they have continued to bloom as that colour. Had the garden centre added some mineral or something to the watering?, or, ??. What I would like is for them to bloom yellow again. Thankyou for any suggestions.

I have a yellow hibiscus "Ft. Meyers" that i bought at lunch one day. It had a huge lemon yellow bloom. The next morning it opened a new bloom - and it was a orangeish/ tan! I looked at it again that afternoon - and it was yellow like the day before. Have you checked the blooms at different times in the day? It may just be changing colors as it ages.
