Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Yellow Surf'

hibiscus yellow surf

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

Hibiscus Yellow Surf is a bright tropical flowering plant known for its large sunshine yellow blooms with a deep red or burgundy center. Native to tropical Asia, its bold flowers stand out beautifully against glossy green foliage and bring a cheerful tropical look to sunny outdoor spaces. Although each flower is short lived, new buds continue opening throughout the warm season for a steady display of color. Hibiscus Yellow Surf grows best in full sun and warm temperatures and is a beautiful choice for patios, garden beds, tropical landscapes, and outdoor containers. Its nectar rich blooms also attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

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.

  • mature size

    Approx. 48" W × 72" H

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.
