I live in Plant City (Central ) Florida. I have no green thumb whatsoever- but I want to make a difference in my lawn... I adore Hibiscus. But before I go and flop one down, I need to find out if it will survive in a mix of sun and shade and what I specifically need to do to help it grow. My soil has a ph level of 7 roughly. Also, Do you have any suggestions for a very low maintence flowering plant?
I need help with planting flowers?
