Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

Hibiscus Tropical (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a stunning ornamental shrub known for its large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant hues of red, pink, yellow, orange, and bi-colors. Its glossy green foliage complements the bold blooms, creating a tropical, eye-catching display. Blooming year-round in warm climates, this plant adds both height and color to landscapes, patios, and container gardens. Hibiscus Tropical also attracts pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies, enhancing garden life.

Growing 4–8 feet tall, Hibiscus Tropical thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. With its upright growth habit, it works well as a specimen plant, hedge, or container display. While fast-growing under optimal conditions, regular maintenance ensures continuous flowering and a healthy, robust form. With proper care, this tropical shrub delivers dramatic, long-lasting beauty and a touch of exotic flair to any outdoor space.

Care Instructions

Planting
Plant in full sun for maximum flowering. Space plants 3–4 feet apart to allow air circulation and growth.

Watering
Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist. Reduce frequency during cooler months but avoid letting soil dry completely.

Pruning
Prune lightly to shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Encourage new blooms by trimming after flowering.

Pest Control
Monitor for aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and mealybugs. Treat early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Soil Tips
Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral soil encourages vibrant flowers and healthy growth.
