This 6' tall and robust plant blooms over a long period and has beautiful mature leaves that are the size, color and shape of maple. | | | Planting Info: Prefers a wet soil, the wetter the better with Full Sun. Deadheading is advisable to keep the plant appearance neat and to prolong bloom. Stems are strong and rarely need staking, they may also be left until spring when they need to be trimmed off to stimulate new growth. But take care not to disturb foliage underneath, Hibiscus are late to break dormancy in spring. They are heavy feeders so a good dose of fertilizer is needed in spring to kick start growth. | |
