Newbie to Hibiscus

Hi all,

I just bought my very first hibiscus. Armstrong Nursery has the most amazing colors right now.

There were a few hibiscus trees where I used to live. They were always covered in white flies. I don't want this to happen to my new beautiful yellow hibiscus. The nursery suggested worm castings. Has anyone tried or heard of this for preventing white flies? Thank you for your help.

    I just bought 2 quart size containers perennial Hibiscus.
    Will they bloom this summer? And, how long does it take for them to get to the 5' height my other one is???
    Ralph.
