Planting Instructions:

  • - Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for mature growth and proper air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers moist, well-drained soil; thrives in rich, organic soil but tolerates average conditions

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist
  • - Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and maintain even soil temperature

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and flowering
  • - Feed again in mid-summer to support continuous blooming

Pruning and Training:

  • - Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged stems
  • - Cut back to the ground in late fall after the plant has gone dormant to encourage fresh growth next spring

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Hardy Hibiscus is generally pest-resistant but may attract aphids or Japanese beetles; monitor and treat if necessary
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from mid-summer to early fall with large, showy flowers in shades of red, pink, white, or purple

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerates both heat and cold, but may need protection in colder regions

Companion Plants for Hardy Hibiscus:

  • - Echinacea: Complements Hibiscus with its bright, daisy-like blooms
  • - Achillea: Pairs beautifully with Hibiscus’ large flowers for a striking contrast
  • - Rudbeckia: Adds bright yellow blooms that enhance the bold colors of Hibiscus

Very happy with my hibiscus! Arrived intact and growing very well.

Looking gorgeous

I’m not sure that it’s as pink as the picture, but it still looks amazing and will give me the look I want with a hibiscus hedge!

Look every where for this!

I search so long online for this to come in a live plant, they only had them in roots. I order my plant received it and planted in a way bigger pot and in 2 weeks it grow so much root that I finally transplanted to ground. It has triple its size and already has flower bulbs.

Finally!!!!

I’ve been looking for Hardy Hibiscus for two years now. I finally found GrowJoy and ordered. My candy crush came packaged with care. I planted under my 1940’s windmill and I can’t wait for it to bring so much color and life to my front yard.

Hardy hibiscus

All my hardy hibiscus arrived in perfect shape. Not one wilted leaf. Wish there was an option for pictures

Nice healthy plants

So far so good. Ordered two candy crush hibiscuses from grow joy. Got two small healthy plants on arrival. In less than a months time these plants have nearly doubled in size. Have around 10 flower buds on each plant now. Very impressive since I planted these in august. Can’t wait to watch the bloom shows out.
