My Hibiscus Kopper King looked great thru the hot dry weather-- watered
regularly... still am, but lately, it really looks shabby... leaves
wilting, kinda leaning.... any thoughts? Does not appear to have any
insect problem-- leaves not eaten or anything... think I am loosing it..
or does it go dormant earlier than other species?
I can't see it going dormant-- the thermostat I passed at lunch today
said-- are you all ready-- 102... it felt like it... Hey I live in IL,
Zone 5- what happened to fall????
