Planting & Care Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing:
   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
   • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to help with germination.
   • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining, seed-starting mix.
   • Keep soil consistently moist and place seed trays in a warm, sunny area (70-80°F / 21-27°C) for germination, which typically takes 14-21 days.
2. Transplanting & Growth:
   • Once seedlings have grown large enough to handle and the frost risk has passed, transplant them outdoors.
   • Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for bushy growth and air circulation.
   • Hibiscus plants prefer full sun, so choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
3. Maintenance:
   • Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Hibiscus likes consistent moisture, especially during hot weather.
   • Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage strong growth and abundant flowers.
   • Prune dead or damaged branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s shape.
   • Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.

Winter Care:

• In colder climates, treat Hibiscus as an annual, as it is frost-sensitive.
• If grown in containers, bring the plants indoors during the winter months to protect them from freezing temperatures.
• In warmer climates (USDA zones 9-11), Hibiscus can be grown year-round with minimal care.

Ideal For:

• Full sun gardens: Hibiscus thrives in sunny locations and loves the warmth of full sun.
• Tropical gardens: Ideal for creating a tropical or exotic garden feel.
• Containers and large pots: Hibiscus does well in containers, adding beauty to patios, balconies, and terraces.
