This began my love affair with the hibiscus, because I had never grown anything with flowers that huge, so I was hooked.

My Luna Blush did pretty good for the second year. Jim49631 - Michigan, Zone "5"   Patches  My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 16, 2007 - 07:45 pm EST :    Oh, Jim, those are some awesome blooms! What a beautiful plant. I was just wondering how big the 'Luna Blush' gets? It looks a lot shorter than most of mine. I'm not really fond of tall plants. Patches - Illinois, Zone "Zone 6"   Jim49631  My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 16, 2007 - 07:55 pm EST :    Thank's They only get about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. I like them because they are so easy to grow. Jim49631 - Michigan, Zone "5"   Patches  My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 16, 2007 - 08:54 pm EST :    Wow, only 2-1/2 to 3' tall! Geesh, maybe this is something I need to check out. I would love a hibiscus that short.

Jim49631 - Michigan, Zone "5"   Patches  My Weather Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 01:03 pm EST :    Oh, Jim, that is gorgeous too! Actually, red is not my favorite color for my garden. I love pink flowers and have lots of them, so I guess I feel the red clashes with my pinks. How large are the blooms on the Luna hibiscus? I really love the small compact size of them because they look like a small bush. Patches - Illinois, Zone "Zone 6"   Jim49631  My Weather Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 01:37 pm EST :    The blooms are about 8 inches. That's the only two colors I've found so far. Jim49631 - Michigan, Zone "5"   Patches  My Weather Posted on Monday, September 17, 2007 - 01:49 pm EST :    Thanks, Jim! Actually, the only color I would be interested in would be the pink one, because I'm running out of places to put things in my yard. I do have a spot on the side of my house where I could put a pink one like the Luna Blush. Patches - Illinois, Zone "Zone 6"
