Hibiscus
Hibiscus (Hibiscus spp.) is a tropical to subtropical shrub known for its large, showy flowers in shades of red, pink, yellow, orange, or white. Widely used in North Florida landscapes as an accent, hedge, or container plant, hibiscus adds vibrant color and attracts pollinators during its long bloom season.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Moderate; water regularly and allow soil to drain well
• Pruning: Remove spent blooms and prune lightly to shape after flowering
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season
