Hibiscus. Even the name sounds exotic. These superbly exuberant shrubs are packed full of flowers in the summertime, and are always striking additions to any yard.
There are three types of hibiscus, ranging from huge-flowered, cold tolerant perennials and easy-to-grow deciduous shrubs, to tropical treasures for the south. While the flowers of all of them certainly look glamorous, one group insists on tropical conditions while others will take some of our coldest winters. All show at least some resistance to deer damage.
