Flowers: side by side

Jan 10, 2007 1 Replies

I recently wrote a note to this group -- concerning two flower plants that are situated side by side; the plants are Hubiscus plants/flowers.



One of the produces flowers, whereas the other one does not. I was always under the impression that these plants are male and female and they need not have the aid of a bee for pollination. (sp?).



Also, I live in Florida, about in the middle of the state, north of Orlando. What is the best time to prune these plants? I have been told



all sorts of things.


Thanks,


Mark
