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

Native to tropical Asia, Hibiscus Red President is one of the boldest and most regal blooms in the hibiscus family. Its large, deep red flowers open in a rich, velvety shade that commands attention against glossy green leaves. While each bloom lasts just a day, the plant produces new flowers continuously throughout the warm season, creating a non-stop show of dramatic color. A favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds, it brings classic tropical elegance to any sunny outdoor space.

Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade — the more sun it gets, the better, with more shade leading to fewer and smaller blooms.
zone
9 and above.
size
Grows 4 to 10 ft. tall and 5 to 8 ft. wide in the landscape, staying more compact in containers.

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. 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. Fertilize every two weeks during spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer, or use a slow-release formula following label instructions.
