Head Over Heels® Blush Hibiscus Care

Plant Head Over Heels® Blush Hibiscus in full sun. This beauty needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to set flowers and look its best. Rich soil with moderate moisture and good drainage is vital. New plants need consistent water, while established Hibiscus shrubs need water weekly, depending on rainfall. A thick layer of mulch will retain moisture and reduce weeds. Use a slow-release fertilizer in early spring, after the flowers fade, and again in midsummer and fall to help the plant thrive.

Prune the plant as needed in early spring to shape the shrub and encourage more branching. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time.
