Last year I found a single Chabaa (hibiscus) plant wild amongst the weeds in the garden. That area was just scrub, it hasn't been farmed in years and was never a garden so I don't know where this plant came from. I kept a few seeds and planted them in pots then moved 4 or 5 out to the garden where they have grown into a shrub over 2m tall just in the space of this wet season. The flowers are not as striking as some cultivarse, attractive nonetheless. We are waiting for the seed pods to make pink Thai Chabaa tea.

Should I dig it out this winter and start again or will it keep growing as a healthy shrub?
