Description:

This tropical Hibiscus has large, bright blooms and dark green foliage. Its upright shrub habit can grow up to 6' tall if left alone.

General Growing Tips:

Use well-drained soil with moderate feed (200ppm nitrogen) and allow soil to dry moderately between waterings. Plant 1 plant per 6" pot and pinch at 4 weeks or use chemical growth regulators. (Left untreated, this plant will grow leggy in humid greenhouse conditions.) Allow 8 weeks to finish. Plant 3 plants per 3 gal. container and allow 12 weeks to finish (don't forget to pinch). Watch for aphids, mealy bugs, and white flies.
