Do deer eat hibiscus plants? In: Flower Gardening Answer Yes deer eat everything. You might try rosemary, lantanna some sages. Deer typically do not like some of the stronger smelling plants. Herbs and traditional natural plants tend to make them move on to other people's tender plants. I hope this helps. Here's another reference on what deer like and don't like... http://boards.thenest.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=31393957 Here is one more...a review of a book advising what to avoid for deer... http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EE7DLROK7959 The only thing I have heard that works from people who have deer problems, is Liquid Fence. Here is a Dave's Garden review of the product with pros and cons. http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/3049/ Hope that helps...Ego :-) pm2 Here is a link that might be useful: Hort Society of NY Deer resistant shrubs for zone 5

Hi Nellyhill, They won't twine together naturally, but will criss cross each other somewhat naturally, though not properly - you'd have to assist where you want branches to go. Different varieties have different branching traits and different growth speeds, but that's not to say your two might be similar enough. It's more likely they will look like two plants side by side. No they won't choke each other out, though as roots are twice as many, make sure you feed the two root systems ie a little extra food. Colours don't matter. They will be happy together. What may suit you is a multi-grafted plant with between 2 and 4 varieties grafted onto the one rootstock. Send an email to Barry Schlueter - barry@barryschlueter.com. Barry will be most helpful and give you lots of local information and should be able to supply a multi grafted plant if you want one. See link as well. Good luck and let us see how it all works out with some pictures. Cheers, Brian. Here is a link that might be useful: American Hibiscus Society

Hi Friends, I was wondering whether older or younger hibiscus plants give more flowers? Should one buy younger or older plants? Also, any tips on how to get more and regular flowers from container based hibiscus? Thanks in advance.

So pretty! I don't have any to trade, but I love seeing the pictures. We got a skiff of snow here today so flowers are a welcome thought! Heidi
