hi
please can someone look at the photos of my hibiscus Woodbridge. I bought it two months ago. It’s still flowering but the leaves are turning yellow. Is there a problem? What can I do?
thank you.

    ‘Woodbridge’ is an Hibiscus syriacus and consequently a hardy type and deciduous, unlike the evergreen Hibiscus rosa-sinensis types. 

    Therefore I suspect that your plant is suffering from ‘Autumn’ ... this is incurable but not fatal ... it will recover in late spring and succumb again before next winter. 😉 

    Be aware that it is one of the later shrubs to come into leaf so don’t despair next year ... it’s pretty tough 😃

    We're all learning ... just some are a bit further along the road than others ... just ask on here ... no question too basic or too complex ... someone will know the answer and we all like helping fellow gardeners  :)
