My Climate Change Garden

Thought I would share this beautiful Hibiscus with you . Three weeks ago I bought a standard plant brimming with  buds which now sits on my desk.Every morning another beautiful flower is there to greet me when I sit down at my computer to work.

The colours are particularly unusual – the bright pink centre looks wonderful against the soft, muted orange.

Hibiscus are brilliant plants for creating a tropical feel . This variety is best kept in a warm room or conservatory. They need plenty of water and regular sprays to guarantee plentiful flowering in order to transport you to an exotic paradise on a daily basis.

I bought mine from my favourite nursery

There are also the hardy non-tropical Hibiscus plants flowering everywhere at the moment in Eastbourne – they love the salty air and thrive in dry,warm conditions  I love this fabulous mauve/blue colour which seems very popular .
