Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. moscheutos
Hibiscus moscheutos subsp. moscheutos
Hardy hibiscus thrives in moist, fertile soil with at least 6 hours of sunlight and benefits from consistent watering throughout the growing season. Cut stems back to about 6 inches in late fall or early spring to encourage vigorous new growth. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and protects roots during winter.
