problems with hardy hibiscus

shanti_1972

HI,

I bought a hardy hibiscus plant this spring and have been enjoying good blooms. i have them planted in the ground where it gets full sun for a good part of the day. but now some of my newer buds are yellowing and falling off. I also noticed brown spots on some of my bigger buds.I have seen some insects , long flying kind on them..but they were ther from the time I got the plant..for a good two months now. Can anyone help me with identifying what the problem is? I would like to use organic or natural solutions..if any.

Thanks

Shanti.

    I've had my hardy hibiscus for 5 years and I'm getting brown spots on the leaves. This is the first time the leaves have done this. I was going to do a search on here to see if others had the same problem. I'm glad you asked. akup_a
