Hibiscus

Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus (Gurhul))

This shrub has dozens of buds just waiting to burst into flower. The tortoises like to eat the flowers but are safely out of reach so I can pick just a few a day for snacks!

Great. Mine have just come into bloom. What colour are yours.
Dawn, If you can wait a couple of years before you get any flowers, I still have some seedlings which you are more than welcome to. If you decide that you would like a couple, drop me a pm with address and I will send them on to you.
