The Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree is a darling shrub with a tree-like form and beautiful flowers. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has large trumpet-shaped pink flowers with subtle white veining. The blooms fade to yellow with age, so at any time during the summer-to-fall bloom cycle, the plant will be covered in both pink and yellow flowers. Several central leaders were maintained and braided, introducing texture and a sophisticated flair. Green, ovate foliage with gently serrated edges fills the branches, giving the shrub a full and dense appearance.

This hibiscus makes an excellent container plant and will add vivid color to a deck or balcony. Pollinators enjoy the showy blooms for added ecosystem value. The Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree is heat tolerant and will thrive as the temperature soars. This shrub is also disease resistant, making it easy to maintain for busy or inexperienced gardeners.
Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree Care
Grow the Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. Choose a planting site that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Keep the soil moist. Established landscape plants need water weekly, while container-grown plants may need water daily, depending on rainfall. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season.
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove faded flowers to keep the plant looking its best. Relocate potted Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Trees to a protected area during the winter.
Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree Spacing
The Pink Lemonade Braided Hibiscus Tree stands 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide at full size. Space these plants 4 to 6 feet apart to create a continuous planting.

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
