The gas tax is just one example of an excise tax. Unlike retail sales taxes, which are clear to consumers, excise taxes are imposed on producers. As a result, the final cost of excise taxes is often hidden from consumers. These taxes lower consumption of the taxed product and increase consumption of other products.
An evergreen shrub with abundant flowers, hibiscus is most often planted as a shrub in outdoor landscaping. It is possible to grow hibiscus in containers indoors if you have a spot that receives full sunlight for at least six to eight hours a day.
While the flowers on these pages may be very enticing, you may look out your window, see snow and ice, and wish you were living in south Florida, Hawaii, Singapore or some other tropical area where you could grow tropical hibiscus. Tropical hibiscus need a lot of light to bloom and perform well. Full sun from dawn to dusk may be too much during summer, but during short winter days, they need all the light they can get. Even with a lot of light and ideal temperature and humidity during the winter, they will likely bloom and grow less.
