Zone 8 gardeners may feel a little timid when it comes to growing tropical hibiscus. That is somewhat understandable, but like I wrote about creating a hydrangea heaven your hibiscus’s dazzle may come from the partnerships you choose.
This will be my third year growing four selections of the Hollywood Hibiscus series. The series now totals 14 if you can believe it. The series and the fact it’s under the Proven Winners logo, will open the door for gardeners to choose the hibiscus that fits their color palette and motif.
What I mean is hibiscus shopping has always been kind of potluck or limited by what the retailer can get or has in stock.

It’s Lime Time.
Lime Time is a ColorBlaze coleus selection that has proven itself, earning Perfect Score and Top Performer awards from north to south. This will be the easiest plant to grow, offering the most riveting color you can add to your landscape beds.
The Garden Guy challenges you to find another color that clashes with ColorBlaze Lime Time coleus. In fact, Lime Time will make all colors and plants more beautiful than you ever imagined. What your friends and family will really think is that the coleus is the main feature and the partners were simply added on.
Lime Time has the ability to add needed pizzazz to hibiscus, hydrangeas Hawaiian Ti plants and more than I want to list.

The Garden Guy received quite a few comments and messages from a recent Facebook post picturing a Let’s Dance Sky View hydrangea in partnership with a Pyromania Backdraft red hot poker or torch lily.
This prompted me to ask Google to show me photos of hydrangea partnerships or combinations in the landscape. The results brought back old memories.
Your humble Garden Guy is a former director of the American Rose Society and its Gardens of the American Rose Center in Shreveport, LA. It wasn’t long after I was there I asked some rosarian about rose bush companions.
A puzzled look came on his face. I soon realized the companions were more roses.
It seems after consulting Google that the hydrangea issue pf partnerships was indeed more hydrangeas. The difference is that in the rose scenario it is lining up 250 roses in rows like marching soldiers. I assure you these gardens were spectacular.

The Garden Guy makes it his charge to keep up with producers from Texas to New York keeping my fingers on what is happening regarding hot new flowers and creative recipes for baskets, containers and landscape designs. One of my favorites is Rowe Farms in Jacksonville, TX.
Rowe Farms always starts off their posts saying, “Feeling Blessed,” which rubs off on their followers fairly quickly. They have a great habit of showing what’s headed out on the trucks including the city and state destination. It’s kind of like showing a T-bone steak to a hungry cowboy, or the Garden Guy!
A recent post showed what was headed to Houston: A Proven Winners’ recipe called Prime Time was front and center making my heart race.
