zone 10 Calif. hibiscus ?

18 years ago

Hi, Any suggestions for a habiscus that is eye stopping but that will bloom ok in zone 10 in partial shade. Looking to replace the shrubs flanking my garage with new more colorful ones that have flowers. I especially like large flowers and colors Some of the ones I really likes were, H. Luna Bush, angels wing, Flo Belle, and jamilou.

Thanks for any suggestions.

How about Lovely Lil or Smokey Mountain? Both have big blooms and are strong plants.
I have both and love them. People are constantly commenting on the Smokey Mountain. Well, I HAD Smokey Mountian, but killed it.... Need another!
I have pics of Lovely Lil in my Hibiscus folder on webshots.

Here is a link that might be useful: Barbie's hibiscus
