Also known as: Chinese Hibiscus, Tropical Hibiscus, China Rose

Hibiscus Orange Fire is a bold tropical flowering plant known for its large, ruffled blooms in vivid shades of fiery orange. Native to tropical Asia, its bright flowers stand out beautifully against glossy deep green foliage and bring instant color to warm outdoor spaces. While each bloom is short lived, new buds open continuously throughout the growing season, creating a steady display of tropical color. Hibiscus Orange Fire grows best in full sun and warm temperatures and is a great choice for patios, garden beds, tropical landscapes, and outdoor containers. Its nectar rich flowers also attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

care

In zones 8 and below, plant hibiscus in a container. The container should have good drainage. Bring them inside the home for the colder months of the year.  When overwintering your hibiscus, make sure it is in a bright, sunny location and water as needed.Plant in organically rich, well-draining soil in a sunny spot protected from strong winds. Cut back by about half in early spring to maintain a nice shape and encourage new growth.
