ADDITIONAL CARE FOR HIBISCUS SYRIACUS PLANT

Hibiscus syriacus, also known as the Rose of Sharon, is a lovely evergreen shrub that would look lovely in your landscape. Here are some additional care tips for this plant:

Pruning

Regular pruning will help shape the plant and promote additional flowers. In late winter or early spring, prune the shrub to eliminate dead or weak growth and shape it. Prune carefully to keep the shrub’s desired shape and size. You can also remove dead wood to promote fresh growth and flowers.

Fertilizing

In early spring, just as new growth begins, feed your Hibiscus syriacus with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Overfertilization should be avoided since extra nutrients can result in fewer blooms.

Watering

Water regularly, especially during dry seasons. Keep the soil continuously wet but not soggy. Mulch around the plant’s base to help preserve soil moisture.

Pest and Disease Control

Monitor for common garden pests, including aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. If you find an infestation, use suitable pest control practices. Additionally, ensure proper ventilation to avoid fungal illnesses such as leaf spots.

Winter Protection

In colder locations, protect your Hibiscus syriacus from frost. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of the plant to insulate the roots and protect it from cold winds with burlap or a winter frost cover.

Sunlight

For the finest flowering, give your Rose of Sharon at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It can tolerate little shade but blooms more abundantly in full sun.

Soil

Plant your Hibiscus in well-drained soil with a pH range of slightly acidic to neutral. Organic matter can be added to the soil to improve its fertility and drainage.

Support

As the plant matures and produces large flowers, it may require more support to keep the branches from drooping or breaking under the weight of the blooms.

By following these care tips, you can help your Hibiscus syriacus grow and produce beautiful, long-lasting flowers in your garden.
