Hi Annie. Glad to see you ignoring the zones...good on you. I overwinter trop hibiscus and they (almost) always bloom for me the next summer. Sometimes i'll have one that just doesn't make it, but it's worth it. I also love hardy hibiscus and have a number of varieties in my garden year round.My DC is also overwintered and is doing fine; I just have to keep repotting into larger pots! Pray for mine to have a bloom.
