FEATURES
Hibiscus - Orange Few plants offer the tropical touch of tropical hibiscus. These
sun-loving plants feature bold, plate-shaped flowers in a dazzling array
of colors. You’ll most commonly find these flowering plants blooming in
shades of red, pink, yellow, and orange, but there are also purple,
lavender-blue, white, and bicolor varieties available. Some also have
variegated foliage that adds appeal.
Tropical hibiscus are summer-blooming plants that grow well in
containers or in the landscape. Potted hibiscus are bold flowering
plants that add dramatic décor to decks, patios, and other spaces. Use
them as focal points to accent your outdoor rooms, or group a number of
these sun-loving plants together to form a hedge or privacy wall.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Hibiscus - Orange are sun-loving, flowering plants that grow best with 6
to 8 hours of direct light each day to bloom the most. They can grow in
part shade, but they tend to bloom less.
Hibiscus appreciate plenty of water, especially when you grow them in in
container gardens. During the hottest part of the season, these
summer-blooming shrubs may need watering every day (especially if their
roots are cramped in a small pot). It's common for hibiscus plants to
drop their flower buds if they dry out too much in summer.
Fertilize hibiscus monthly with a general-purpose fertilizer, following
the directions on the product packaging, to ensure they produce the most
blooms possible. You don't need to use special bloom-boosting
fertilizers; regular, general-purpose products work just fine. Dwarf
hibiscus grow 2-4 feet tall; standard varieties typically grow up to 5
feet tall.
Hibiscus typically don't need much pruning if you grow them in
containers. But, if you do wish to prune your hibiscus, you can do so at
any time to encourage a bushier, fuller plant.

North; it’s common to see some hibiscus grow 15 feet tall and wide or
more! These sun-loving plants are often grown as hedges to create a
beautiful living privacy wall.
