I had hibiscus bugs on my althea last year and, although they did not damage the shrub, they did affect the flower buds so I did not have as many blooms as usual. I did not have a problem with them this year, thank goodness.
Another good fall gardening book is Fallscaping by Nancy Ondra. Perhaps Allen Lacy wrote the first book about autumn gardening in the U.S., but EA Bowles wrote My Garden in Autumn and Winter in 1915, long before Lacy did.
