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
