Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Nick the seed coat slightly and soak in warm water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix, press seeds lightly into the surface, and keep moist at around 70–75°F. Germination can take 2–4 weeks. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors after hardening off.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms. This Hibiscus is generally pest-resistant and deer-resistant.
