Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Give Disco Diva at least six hours of direct sun daily for maximum blooms. Morning sun with afternoon shade works in extremely hot climates, but too much shade causes leggy growth and sparse flowering.

Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained soil amended with compost or quality potting mix. For containers, use a premium potting mix with good drainage. Avoid heavy clay unless amended generously with organic matter and perlite.

Watering Requirements

Tropical hibiscus needs consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 2-3 days in hot weather or daily for container plants in full sun. Never let the soil completely dry out or stay waterlogged, as both cause bud drop.

Pruning Tips

Pinch or trim stem tips in spring and early summer to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Hibiscus flowers on new wood, so regular light pruning actually increases flower production. Cut back by one-third in late winter if overwintering indoors to shape the plant before spring growth resumes.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer formulated for flowering plants or hibiscus. A fertilizer higher in potassium promotes more blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which push leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Stop fertilizing in fall when you bring the plant indoors.

Hollywood Hibiscus™ Disco Diva™ (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'JBG MH-17') brings the bold, glamorous energy of a tropical vacation right to your patio. This Proven Winners® selection pumps out ruffled pink blooms with a striking darker rose eye from late spring until frost, turning any sunny spot into a pollinator paradise.

Nonstop Tropical Blooms

Unlike older hibiscus varieties that bloom in flushes, the Hollywood Hibiscus™ series was bred specifically for continuous flowering without deadheading. Disco Diva produces dinner-plate-sized blooms up to 8 inches across, each lasting a day before being replaced by fresh flowers the next morning. The vibrant pink petals feature elegant ruffled edges and a deep magenta center that practically glows in sunlight.

Built for Performance

What sets Hollywood Hibiscus™ apart from standard tropical hibiscus is the breeding behind it. These plants develop a compact, well-branched framework that stays full and attractive without constant pinching. They tolerate heat better than typical varieties, keeping their buds instead of dropping them when temperatures spike. Expect a mature plant to reach 4-6 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide when grown outdoors year-round in zones 9-11.

Versatile Growing Options

In frost-free climates, grow Disco Diva as a landscape shrub, hedge, or specimen plant. For gardeners in colder zones, this tropical beauty shines in large containers on patios, decks, and poolsides all summer, then moves indoors to a sunny window before first frost. Many gardeners treat it as a treasured houseplant during winter, where it continues to bloom sporadically if given enough light.

A Magnet for Pollinators

Hummingbirds find those bold pink flowers irresistible, often visiting multiple times daily during peak bloom. Butterflies also frequent Disco Diva for nectar, making it a smart choice for anyone creating pollinator-friendly outdoor spaces. Position it near seating areas where you can watch the wildlife show unfold.

Disco Diva delivers the drama and color impact of a tropical garden without demanding expert-level care. Give it sun, water, and regular feeding, and this Hollywood Hibiscus™ will reward you with a summer-long display that stops neighbors in their tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I grow Hollywood Hibiscus Disco Diva outdoors year-round?

Only in zones 9-11 where temperatures stay above 50°F. In colder zones, grow it in a container and bring it indoors before nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F in fall. It makes an excellent patio plant that overwinters as a houseplant.

Why is my tropical hibiscus dropping buds?

Bud drop typically results from inconsistent watering, temperature swings, or moving the plant. Keep soil evenly moist, avoid letting it dry out completely, and minimize location changes once buds form. Hollywood Hibiscus™ varieties are more resistant to bud drop than older types but still need consistent conditions.

How do I overwinter Hollywood Hibiscus indoors?

Move it inside before temps drop below 50°F. Place in the brightest window available, ideally south-facing. Reduce watering since growth slows in winter, and stop fertilizing until spring. Some leaf drop is normal during the transition. Resume regular care when you move it back outdoors after last frost.

How big will Hollywood Hibiscus Disco Diva get in a container?

Container size limits growth. In a 14-16 inch pot, expect 3-4 feet tall and wide with regular pruning. Larger containers allow bigger plants. Prune in late winter to control size and encourage fuller branching before the spring growth flush.

Is Hollywood Hibiscus toxic to pets?

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is generally considered non-toxic to dogs and cats, though eating plant material may cause mild stomach upset. The ASPCA does not list tropical hibiscus as toxic, making it a safer choice for households with curious pets compared to many other flowering plants.
