Plant Features

Hollywood Leading Lady™ Cajun Hibiscus: Every garden needs a star, and the Leading Lady is here to take center stage with her radiant yellow petals and crisp white center. This hibiscus exudes elegance and charm, with a soft yet striking color palette that lights up any space. Whether planted in a garden bed or a container, the Hollywood Leading Lady delivers that iconic touch of class, bringing light and vibrancy to your outdoor space.

Effortlessly beautiful, this hibiscus thrives with minimal care, giving you endless blooms from spring through fall. It’s the ultimate low-maintenance starlet—always graceful, never demanding.

As with all our plants, it’s grown without harmful pesticides, making it a healthy choice for your garden and the environment. Guaranteed to arrive ready to dazzle and keep the spotlight all season long!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant when it’s nice and warm—daytime temps need to stay above 60°F for this starlet to shine.

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0 (perfect for keeping this leading lady in top form!)

Watering Specifics:

  • - Keep that soil evenly moist, especially when it’s hot—this hibiscus loves a good drink

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Start with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time to fuel its growth
  • - Then, give it a low-potassium, water-soluble every 3-5 weeks to keep the blooms coming. We recommend Carol Pool Hibiscus Food

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back the tips for a bushier, bloom-loaded plant
  • - Prune after flowering to shape and encourage new growth—basically, keep it looking fabulous!

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Keep an eye out for aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies—pests love a showstopper too

Light Requirements:

  • - This hibiscus thrives in full sun—more sun, more blooms!
  • - Can handle partial shade, but don’t expect the same flower power

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Loves the heat—this plant performs like a champ in hot, humid conditions

Companion Plants for Hollywood Leading Lady Hibiscus:

  • - Coleus: Their bold foliage complements Leading Lady’s soft, radiant blooms beautifully
  • - Canna Lilies: Canna Lilies’ lush blooms pair perfectly with Leading Lady’s delicate charm
