#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hardy Hibiscus grows well in full sun, but in hot climates appreciates some afternoon/partial shade. These plants thrive in any fertile, well-drained soil with ample moisture. Do not allow your plants to dry to the wilting point. But be careful to not over-water until plants show signs of growth!

Be patient because Hibiscus can be slow to emerge in spring, sometimes the last to show up before summer. However, their fast growth more than makes up for it! Ready to bloom in just a few weeks from when the first shoots emerge from the ground. Deadhead the seedheads after the flowers have faded for a neater appearance, then in the late autumn, after the leaves and stems have died, trimming them down to an inch or so above the ground.

These low-maintenance shrubs are high on the deer-resistant list of plants, so go ahead and plant Hardy HIbiscus without worry!

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Widely Adaptable to Soil & Climate
• Moderate Moisture
• Prune Off Dead Shoots in Late Autumn
• Deer Resistant
