Hollywood Hibiscus™ Bloom Bash™ Tropical Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) offers large, red, yellow and orange flowers that appear throughout the warm season. This tropical variety grows up to 4 feet tall, providing a striking focal point in landscapes or on patios. Its bold multicolored flowers captivate the eye, and fresh buds keep opening as long as the weather stays hot. Many collectors choose it for reliable blooms that transform outdoor spaces into lush retreats.

The upright growth habit forms a tidy shape suitable for borders and container displays. This hibiscus appreciates full sun, has moderate drought tolerance once established, and often resists common garden pests. Originally native to tropical regions, it can serve as a showy annual in cooler climates or a permanent shrub in warm zones. Mass plantings, accent plantings, and poolside gardens benefit from its exotic impact.

Hollywood Hibiscus™ Bloom Bash™ Tropical Hibiscus Care

Place it in a sunny spot with well-draining soil, adding compost before planting if needed. Water regularly during peak growing season, especially in higher temperatures, but avoid waterlogged conditions. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer every few weeks encourages steady bud formation, and a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH helps maintain healthy roots. In northern areas, plant it as an annual or bring containers indoors when cooler nights arrive.

Pruning can be done lightly to remove spent flower stems, though it rarely requires extensive trimming. Clip off any damaged branches for a cleaner look, and thin out the interior if stems get crowded. In cold-winter regions, consider overwintering it indoors or in a greenhouse, watering sparingly and monitoring for pests. Container-grown specimens may need repotting every couple of years, using a high-quality potting mix.

Hollywood Hibiscus™ Bloom Bash™ Tropical Hibiscus Spacing

Set plants about 48 inches apart in a row or border. Closer spacing at around 40 inches can form a dense hedge effect, though that may require extra pruning. If you plan to feature it as a single specimen, a container at least 16 inches wide allows sufficient root expansion. Larger pots help stabilize moisture levels and give the shrub ample room to thrive alongside other companions.
