  • 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

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