The hardy hibiscus are very hardy in many ways. We cannot grow them her in
SC without spraying. Diazinon can damage most hibiscus. Use Orthene or
Dipel. Orthene controls for quite a good while. We get by with 3 sprayings/
season. Without them, we have just skeletons.

Inchworms devoured a potted hibiscus on my deck over the course of a week
while
I wasn't home. It now looks like a hibiscus skeleton. What can I use on
the
hibiscus plants I have scattered throughout the yard, which are now also
begining to show signs of inchworm damage?

The devoured plant seems to be sprouting new leaf buds - any chance of it
surviving? I'm on Long Island, New York.
