Okay new to gardening :) I just bought a hanging hibiscus plant to see if the hummingbirds will enjoy. All buds now...no blooms yet. Does anyone know how long it takes to see blooms, how big they will be, and do I need to discard the wilting flowers to ensure future blooming? if so, can you explain how to do it? Is there a term for that? If in a hanging basket, will the plant tumble over the sides or just keep getting taller? Is there a way to tell what color it will be before blooms? Sorry for the "newbie" questions but I have SO much to learn. Thanks for your time.
