Hibiscus rosa-sinensis<\/em> is a vigorous evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves and serrated edges. This form – shrub\/free-growing – is perfect for planting in pots\/planters to add splashes of color to balconies and terraces, or for planting in the ground to create small hedges or colorful shrub areas in gardens<\/strong>. Its flowers are large, solitary, and showy, coming in a wide variety of colours, including red, pink, yellow, white, and orange. Flowering occurs mainly in spring and summer, extending into autumn in mild climates. It\u2019s a very ornamental plant thanks to its lush, colourful flowers, even though they last for a very short time: around 24 hrs. The good news is that, in the right conditions and in its typical flowering season in Mediterranean regions (spring\/summer), it can flower almost continuously, as new buds form while older flowers fade, keeping the Hibiscus looking beautiful and lush during the milder\/warmer months of the year.<\/p>\n

CUIDADOS<\/strong>
Light<\/strong>: Prefers bright spots with good sun exposure; adapts to full sun or partial shade. In very hot regions, it\u2019s best to provide some shade during the strongest hours of sun.
Temperature<\/strong>: Sensitive to cold, does not tolerate frost. In regions with harsh winters, it should be grown in a pot so it can be protected during winter.
Watering<\/strong>: Needs regular watering, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. In summer, water more often; in winter, reduce frequency.
Humidity: <\/strong>It likes environments with moderate humidity. In very dry locations, it can benefit from leaf misting.
Fertilising<\/strong>: Apply a balanced fertiliser (e.g., NPK 10-10-10) every 15 days during spring and summer to encourage growth and flowering.
Pruning<\/strong>: Perform structural and maintenance pruning in late winter or early spring to encourage branching and flowering. Remove dry or damaged branches regularly.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial.
Soil<\/strong>: Fertile, well-drained substrate\/soil rich in organic matter. Prefers a pH between 6.0 and 6.5.
Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: There\u2019s no specific documentation on the toxicity of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis for pets. However, it’s always advisable to prevent animals from eating parts of the plant.<\/p>\n

Fun facts<\/strong>: Each flower lasts a very short time, typically 24 to 48 hours! Although the scientific name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis means \u201cChina rose\u201d, this Hibiscus isn\u2019t related to true roses. It\u2019s the national flower of Malaysia and Hawaii.<\/p>\n
