Plant Description

Hibiscus is a genus of sun-loving shrubs and small trees with tropical-looking showy flowers in shades such as pink, bright red, pastel orange, white, and yellow. Hibiscus flowers are easily recognizable with their funnel shape, large papery petals, and contrasting colorful centers.

Hibiscus will tolerate partial shade, but its greatest blooming is attained in full sun. To sustain a healthy plant, the soil should be kept uniformly moist. In hot, sunny weather, this will require watering every day. Perennial hibiscus blooms in mid to late summer.

Plants Care

• Tropical hibiscus plants should be kept consistently moist, so water whenever the top inch of soil is dry.
• Hibiscuses are water-loving plants. Signs of overwatering include yellow-colored and swollen leaves.
• Place hibiscus in bright light with some direct sunlight daily.
• For potted plants a well-draining, coco-peat based potting mix is perfect.
• If you have a potted hibiscus, do an annual pruning in early spring.
• According to professional Hibiscus growers, Hibiscus does best with a fertilizer formulation ration of 3-1–4. This is an average amount of nitrogen, a low amount of phosphorus, and a high amount of potassium.
