# She’s blooming 🌺 This hibiscus has been through it—I brought her…

She’s blooming 🌺  
This hibiscus has been through it—I brought her home at the end of last growing season, and she almost didn’t make it through the winter thanks to root rot. After a rough recovery, I fertilized incorrectly (lesson learned!) and ended up having to cut back a ton of growth this spring.

For a while, I wasn’t sure if I’d see any blooms at all this year… but here she is!
