Hibiscus


Question
Hi. Can you give be advice on how to look after the Hibiscus shrub please?

Answer
Hello Gary

Hibiscus needs to be planted in humus rich, well drained soil in full sun.  Full sun is important to ensure that the plant flowers well.  

Water in dry spells and give it an occasional feed with a liquid general fertilizer.  

You should only prune to remove wayward, spindly and damaged stems and can be carried out in the fall or late spring.

Generally speaking Hibiscus is a plant that takes care of itself when it is planted outdoors!
