Hi folks I've got some hibiscus Luna bare root plants, When is it best to plant them out?

    I'd pot them and keep frost free till they establish nick. They're apparently hardy bit I'd be more concerned about too much water first. You know what our weather can be like.

    so just put them in big plastic pots until buds appear?

    Well till the weather settles nick. Get them established first, they either go well or die for me when young. Better root system better results.

    Ok thanks I'll put them in bug plastic pots to start them off

    I'd keep them somewhere sheltered - a GH might be ok for now, but will be too hot once we start getting a bit of sunshine.  Just a word of warning - I did this a few years ago - now have 4 healthy shrubs, but had to wait til last year for the first one to flower. So you'll need to be patientimage

    Ok chicky, I'm going to put them in plastic pots first before I put them into terracotta ones
