Hibiscus — Red

Deep-red dinnerplate blooms almost every morning in season. Grown outdoors here, so it arrives already hardened to real weather — not polyhouse soft.

• Beloved by sunbirds and butterflies
• Responds to pruning with heavier flowering

Light

Minimum five hours of direct sun for reliable blooming.

Water & feeding

Keep evenly moist; feed with a high-potassium fertiliser monthly. Yellowing between veins signals iron — we keep chelates at the counter.

Pruning

Tip-prune after each flush; hard prune in late winter.
