wilt disease

[topshelf12]

 My Scarlet Beauty has wilt disease. It leaves have all turned brown and crisp and there are only a couple green tips on a couple of stems. I scratched different spots on the wood and it is green. Will it come back or should I head over to the HVH store for a new one?
thanks

Sorry to hear this, Norm. Wilt disease shows with limp wilted leaves that remain green and then eventually yellow and fall off. Yours sounds more like a freeze - any chance of that? Hibiscus that are badly damaged by whatever cause can occasionally come back but more often than not they don't recover, unfortunately.
