Rose of Sharon with chlorosis
Fertilize them would be the obvious answer.

Travis in Shoreline Washington Hello Travis :-)) Hibiscus often suffer from chlorosis, typically due to a lack of needed trace elements, usually iron, zinc and/or manganese. A good balanced fertilizer with added trace elements ( I like Dr Earth's Organic 8 - specifically recommended for hibiscus ) should do the trick. For a really fast, tonic-like approach, spray the foliage and the surface of the root zone with MirAcid (aka MiracleGro for Acid Lovers). This delivers chelated iron rapidly and you should see noticeable greening in a week or two. pam - gardengal |

Go to a Home Depot, Lowes or some other store with a garden section and see
the obvious for yourself. Believe it or not, it will say right on the package what it is for! Amazing isn't it? "Travis" wrote in message ... What would be the "obvious" type of fertilizer?
