Hello,

I'm in zone 5.

I bought a hardy hibiscus (the lable said zone 5) from local nursery
last fall, and planted it near a rose of sharon and a mini rose. The
rose has bloomed. The rose of sharon has leaf in its lowe branches.
There is no sign of the hardy hibiscus.

I want to plant another mini rose in its spot. But I don't want to
kill my hardy hibiscus if it's not dead yet. How can I found out?

Thanks.

I'm in the same zone and my two hardy hibiscuses (hibisci?) are about 4 feet
tall but not budding yet. If you have nothing at all, maybe it's time to
hold a funeral.

A hardy Hibiscus is very late about showing signs of life.But I would say if
yours has not shown any life by now I would hold that funeral. I live in
zone 7 and mine is blooming now.

Thanks all.

I dug it out. There wasn't much roots left. It was dead indeed.

I put a Heritage (AUSblush) in its place. Hopefully, it'll live longer
than the hibiscus.
