When to Transplant Hibiscus Shrub: Spring for Evergreen, Fall for Deciduous

Timing Depends on Type

Evergreen hibiscus (tropical, H. rosa-sinensis): Spring (April/May) when sap rises.
Deciduous hibiscus (hardy, H. moscheutos, rose of Sharon H. syriacus): Fall (late Sept–early Nov) during dormancy.

Move when plant is least active. Prepare wide hole, preserve root ball, water deeply, mulch.
