Hibiscus

Hibiscus plants are tropical shrubs known for their large, colorful flowers. The blooms are large, trumpet-shaped with 5 or more petals that may either be white, pink, red, orange, purple, or yellow. Hibiscus plant's exotic beauty is a sure way to make your garden look like a tropical paradise.

Provide hibiscus with at least 6 hours of sunlight. Although warm, humid conditions are ideal for tropical hibiscus, you may want to provide a little afternoon shade when it’s overly hot. Make sure that the soil used offers excellent drainage. When hibiscus are in their blooming stage, they require large amounts of water. During warm weather, water your hibiscus every day. Once the weather cools, your hibiscus will need far less water.
