Default Hibiscus

I plan on planting several large Hibiscus plants this fall.

My friend tells me I cannot use regular soil for growing them because they
need a special soil mixture.

I've never heard of such a thing.

Does anyone on this newsgroup grow Hibiscus, and if so, do you use regular
garden soil or a special mixture?


Cold climate, deciduous hibiscus or the one that likes warm climates? I
cant' tell you anything aobut warm climate ones, but the cold climate
deciduous ones grow quite happily in unamended, normal garden soil.
