Re: Advice Please?

Hi -- I'm probably the last person to give advice so I will just say I live
on Okaloosa Island, FL (Panhandle gulf coast) -- The neighbors on my
waterfront street have some great magnolias (probably been here as long as
the homes - 30 - 40 years) and I'm doing well with a couple of unknown
varieties of hibiscus (including rose of sharon, confederate rose, one
small
bushy type, and a tree which has grown a couple of feet this year.  Most
of
them get the salty well water we use to water the lawn.  All are doing
pretty well.  My only thoughts are -- these plants are all pretty tough to
survive my well meaning but uneducated care.  (My mother always
recommended
I plant any hibiscus with dark green and large leaves.  She said she found
they were the sturdiest for her.  I think these are the ones I have  that
are taking the salt the best)

(I hope someone can really help you though with some good advice.)
