If I had greenhouse space, I could certainly waste room for tropical hibiscus as I think they are awesome. I just wish the hardy types have come as far of the tropical varieties in their hybridization.

Friend of mine had this growing in the middle of some pachysandra for years. Never grew over 3 feet tall. I dug a couple up and planted them at my house. They grew to 7 feet tall. I have no idea what variety they are but they survive our winter.
