Growing Tips for Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Hollywood Hibiscus® Hot Shot™'

For optimal growth, plant in full sun (6+ hours) or part sun (4-6 hours). This easy-care plant blooms on new wood throughout summer and is hardy in zones 9a-11b. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Fertilize with a low-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage blooming, and skip "bloom booster" types. It thrives in well-drained soil and can be used as a centerpiece in large containers or mixed borders. In colder zones, treat it as an annual or bring it indoors.
