Tropical Hibiscus is an evergreen shrub.

Height: 60 cm

This evergreen shrub produces large, showy blooms in varied colors and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. They are capable of performing beautifully for gardeners in every climate. Whether you grow them as a house, greenhouse or garden plants.

While most plant tags will tell you that tropical hibiscus takes full sun to partial sun, in reality, if you live somewhere hot and bright, you should go more towards a partial sun location.

For growing in a container, use a well-drained potting mix, preferably one formulated for tropical plants. 

Outdoors, your soil should have lots of organic matter, and it helps to add a layer of compost.

Tropical hibiscus is a thirsty plant and will thrive and produce blossoms only if it is given enough water. Depending on heat, wind, and humidity, your plant may need to be watered daily, or even twice a day in extremely dry conditions. It may need 1 to 2 inches of water per week. However, the soil must be well-drained. 

The best time for pruning tropical hibiscus is in the fall for garden and container
