Hibiscus flowers are bright and beautiful and taste really good when they’re used to make iced tea. Unfortunately, squirrels also like them. They bite the flowers off of the plant so that they can suck the juice out of the stems. Sometimes they do this before the flowers even get a chance to bloom. This may sound like a reason not to get a hibiscus tree, (or at least a reason to keep them inside all year round), but when a flower actually makes it and is able to bloom, it is certain to be the star 🌟 of your garden for the two days that you’ll get to enjoy its beauty. You did it, hibiscus!
