Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

hibiscus yellow

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

Native to tropical Asia, Hibiscus Yellow is a true classic in the hibiscus family. Its large, ruffled petals open in a pure, sunny yellow with a soft golden throat, creating a cheerful, eye-catching bloom that brightens any space. While each flower lasts just a day, the plant produces new buds continuously throughout the warm season, keeping the sunny show going non-stop. A favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds, it brings classic tropical charm to any sunny outdoor space.

plant tips

  • water

    Hibiscus don't like to dry out and prefer an evenly moist root ball. Water regularly during the growing season and reduce slightly in cooler months.

  • light

    Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade — the more sun it gets, the better, with more shade leading to fewer and smaller blooms.

  • size

    Grows 4 to 10 ft. tall and 5 to 8 ft. wide in the landscape, staying more compact in containers.

care

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