1. Planting: Plant your Hibiscus in full sun (around 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily), in an area with well-drained soil. To help conserve water and reduce weeds, it's recommended to add a layer of mulch around the base of the plant. This will not only help to retain moisture in the soil but also provide a protective barrier for the plant's roots. It's important to maintain this mulch layer year-round, as it will gradually break down over time. Once you've selected your location, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your shrub's root ball.

If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your shrub's shipped container. Use organic soil, place your shrub, and select a sunny spot. If your Hibiscus is container-planted in a colder climate, just bring it inside in the winter when the temperature starts to drop.

2. Watering: Ensure that the soil remains moist until the plant is established.

3. Fertilizing: Hollywood® Hibiscus should be fertilized with a balanced or low phosphorous fertilizer once per year in early spring using a slow-release fertilizer.

4. Pruning: To maintain the desired shape, prune as needed.
