All hardy hibiscus plants prefer full sun or maybe just a little afternoon shade. More sun = more flowers. Keep perennial Hibiscus plants well-watered as they do not tolerate drought. They may drop their flower buds or become susceptible to insects and disease if they are water stressed. The giant crepe-papery flowers of the Rose Mallow and Swamp Mallow hibiscus look great but last only a short time in a vase so they aren't a good cut flower plant. But the dried seed pods are exotic-looking and will last a long time in an arrangement. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
