I have a Hibiscus from last summer that I cut down in the Fall. When will it grow again?

We are in Zone 5 or 6. Assuming it survived the winter, will it begin growing soon?

that is accordint to if it is tropical or not.





if it had glossy leaves and flowers that were very large and died every day and made new ones the next, it is tropical





if it had dull sometimes heart shaped leaves and flowers white or red and lasted many days before a single flower died it is a perennial





you will not know until july. if it is tropical, it died when temps were at the low 20s
Reply:Hi:


The Hibiscus is a beautiful shrub and considered a warm weather shrub. Your ground temperature is still cool for the Hibiscus to emerge. It should start by the end of this month. It is considered a deciduous shrub in zones seven and lower. It is an evergreen shrub in zones eight and higher. I am a landscaper and designer and you did the correct step by pruning it back in the fall. If you had a healthy plant last year, it should come up sometime this month or the beginning of June. This will depend on your air and ground temperature.





I will link you to the tropics section of my website. There is a page on the Hibiscus. I will also link you to the site map, as this has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information on other plant specimens and any other landscape need. Good luck to you and your Hibiscus and have a great day!

Reply:It depends on whether you have native Hibiscus or tropical Hibiscus. Native Hibiscus grow in 5 and 6, but the sprouts come up from the root. It will be a few weeks before they will come up.
