Island Blooms by Costa Farms 42" Tall Hibiscus, Direct Sunlight, Live Flowering Outdoor Plant

The Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a tropical shrub celebrated for its large, vibrant blooms in hues of red, pink, yellow, and orange. Its glossy, dark green foliage and continuous flowering make it a standout addition to any garden or patio, bringing a touch of the tropics to your outdoor space. To ensure your Hibiscus thrives, plant it in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Position it in a location that receives full sunlight, as this promotes optimal flowering; however, it can tolerate partial shade, though this may result in fewer blooms. Maintain consistent soil moisture without allowing it to become waterlogged, as the plant prefers evenly moist conditions. Applying mulch can help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. The Spruce Pruning is generally minimal; however, removing spent flowers (deadheading) can promote a tidier appearance and may encourage additional blooming. In cooler climates, consider planting the Hibiscus in a container so it can be moved indoors during the winter months, as it is sensitive to frost. Regular feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer will support vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
