Bees and butterflies flock to this hibiscus, and foragers like deer leave it alone. Grow the Luna Red Hibiscus in zones 5 through 9.

Luna Red Hibiscus Care

The more sun, the better for the Luna Red Hibiscus. This lovely shrub needs at least 6 hours of sunlight to grow and thrive. Young plants need consistently damp soil until they become acclimated. Mature plants need water weekly, especially during a dry spell. Mulch will slow evaporation and give the soil a nutritional boost. Fertilize in early spring using a slow-release plant food to support new growth.

Prune the Luna Red Hibiscus to maintain a desirable shape. Trim the hibiscus in late winter or early spring and remove dead or damaged growth at any time.

Luna Red Hibiscus Spacing

The Hibiscus moscheutos Luna Red reaches 3 feet tall and wide. Leave 3 feet between plants to create a dense row.
