Planting & Care

Position your hibiscus in full sun for the most vibrant flower color and robust growth, though western gardeners may benefit from afternoon shade. Plant in moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist, and apply a balanced water-soluble fertilizer formulated for flowering plants every two weeks during the growing season. Pinch back new growth tips to encourage a fuller, bushier plant shape. In cooler climates, this plant can be overwintered indoors in a bright, south-facing window with warm temperatures.
