Native to parts of Asia, this Hibiscus syriacus Fiji™ is well suited to growing in zones 5 to 8. Requiring minimal pruning, it is low maintenance and easy to care for when grown in the right place.

Fiji Rose of Sharon Plant Care
For the best blooms, the Fiji Rose of Sharon likes to be grown in full sun. It prefers free-draining, fertile soil that is neutral to alkaline. Keep the soil evenly moist after planting; however, once established, it can also cope with dry periods. To encourage its attractive blooms, you can apply a granular slow-release fertilizer in the spring. However, it is best to avoid overfeeding her, as this can lead to poor flower formation.
Even though little pruning is required, you can prune this Fiji Rose of Sharon to the desired shape in late winter. In colder areas, you can mulch around the base of the plant to help insulate the roots from the worst of the winter.
Fiji Rose of Sharon Plant Spacing
The Fiji Rose of Sharon can reach 5 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 7 feet wide when fully grown. When growing as part of a group, you can space each hibiscus around 4 to 7 feet apart.

New Wood
?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
