Hibiscus Syriacus Hamabo care
The Hibiscus Syriacus Hamabo loves a sunny location in the garden which has moist, well drained soils. Generally disease free and requiring minimal to no pruning once established. In winter months simply remove any dead or damaged branches to encourage a healthy growth and mulch once finished. To encourage a more bushy, healthy growth when the plant is young hard prune in late spring and mulch well. Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings.
