Had about 4 foot high pretty red hibiscus that had pretty good wood on it. The freeze course killed it back. Also got all my copper leafs. The hibiscus still l has very few sprouts and on on couple branches out of the ground. I don't think it coming back. On the other hand my 6 copper leafs are popping up fast. I doubt they will reach 7 foot that took them three so years to get that high, but they survived. I noticed the house across from me had six for or more yellow hibiscus bush that still looks dead.

Anybody else lost hibiscus?

We lost our 3 hibiscus from the freeze and have replaced them.

I've got shoots on my five Hibiscus, but they look miserable. I had an absolutely beautiful Jatropha which had grown into an ornamental tree, it is shooting from the base, but nothing from the upper branches, I am really bumbed about the loss of that ornamental, it was a show stopper. On the bright side, my roses have never ever looked better.
