Hibiscus 'Jazzberry Jam' PPAF
Blooms reach 9 inches and counting!
Without a doubt the cold-hardiest Hibiscus yet, 'Jazzberry Jam' brings the joy of this tropical-looking shrub into the far north! From midsummer into autumn, it sets masses upon masses of giant blooms. The growing and flowering season may be a bit shorter in the colder climates, but these blooms are large, profuse, and showstopping in any setting, and 'Jazzberry Jam' is certain to become the focal point of the sunny garden!
At just 4 to 5 feet high and 5 feet wide, it's also one of the most compact Hibiscus we've ever grown. You can put it into a large container and move it from patio to poolside to front yard, as you please. It won't take over smaller-space gardens, and can become the center of accent plantings in not much space at all. What a nice way to squeeze an over-the-top beauty into a tight spot!
Best of all are the blooms, though. A blinding shade of magenta, they offer oversized petals with neat ruffles around the edges and the fascinating crepe-papery look beloved of Hibiscus. We give their diameter as 9 inches to be conservative ? you'll find some foot-wide blooms before the first few seasons are out, and the flowers only improve in number and size as the shrub matures!
Tolerant of heat and humidity, attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, and disdained by nibbling deer, Hibiscus is a must-have for the sun-soaked garden. It needs moisture to flower its best, but beyond that is left alone by most pests and diseases, and asks for very little to put on a spectacle that lasts until frost in warmer climates. 'Jazzberry Jam' is a garden-maker, a touchstone shrub that will define a look for your landscape. Please order it promptly this season to avoid disappointment. Zones 4-9.

As the deer population has boomed and
food has become scarcer, they have become more aggressive. In some areas deer will
strip your garden bare, leaving nothing green or flowery behind. While there is no such thing as a completely deer-proof garden, there
are some effective things you can do to protect your garden from these
hungry animals.
Use physical barriers
A High Fence
Deer can jump pretty high, but a fence higher than eight feet (higher on an up-slope) and flush with the ground will keep any deer out.
Electric Fences
They are a much easier and less expensive solution. Deer generally will not try to jump electric fences, but will rather try to climb through the wires, receiving a deterring shock.
Bird-Netting
An even less extreme physical option is to put bird netting over your larger and more susceptible plants.
Plant Deer-Resistant Varieties
Herbs, some conifers, and many flowers are some of the best deer-resistant plants. More fragrant plants will often deter predation. Planting just a few deer-resistant plants will limit grazing of your other plants. Remember, "deer-resistant" does not mean deer-proof. A hungry animal will eat just about anything.Having a dog In the Family
Owning a dog, especially a big dog will almost always keep deer from approaching your home. Just the scent of the dog will keep most deer away, and if your dog lives outside you will probably never see any deer.For most gardeners, it is a combination of different solutions that works best. Every gardener has to find the solution that works best in their garden.
