Planting and Care Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level of 6.0 to 7.0. Amend soil with organic matter to improve fertility.
- Planting: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil, and water thoroughly.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Sunlight: Provide full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Hibiscus thrives in sunny locations but can tolerate some shade.
- Maintenance: Prune annually to encourage bushier growth and remove dead or damaged stems. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect it from frost. In warmer regions, the plant will continue to grow year-round.
