Hi Peggy, thanks for your reply. I posted this originally last year and
have
since planted two hibiscus which are doing really well. I cut them to
ground
level last fall right before the first frost, mulched them heavily, and
they're tall and ready to bloom for the second year. :) Haven't gotten
'round to planting the magnolia yet because I'm considering selling my
beach
house next year and moving south the following year.
