Care Information

Aftercare for your Hibiscus 'Lavender Chiffon'

Hibiscus grows well in average soil and once established requires very little care - withstanding periods of drought. It also tolerates summer heat and humidity.
Grow in a sheltered spot in full sun with a humus-rich moist soil, keep well-watered as these plants don't like to dry out.
Happy in a large container as long as you keep it well-watered and protect the crown with a dry mulch through the winter months.
Trim any dead or damaged growth each year in mid spring and remove faded flowers.
Hibiscus flowers on the current season's growth, so pruning encourages them to flower prolifically.
Hibiscus can be bare of leaves right up until May, so don't think that your plant has expired - keep it well watered and it will burst into life when ready!

Pruning your Hibiscus

Prune back two or three buds in the late winter months or early spring to encourage larger flowers the following summer - if the shrub is left unpruned, it will continue to produce numerous blooms, but they will often be smaller in diameter.
