hardy hibiscus

Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus 'Anne Arundel' plants should be watered well during the growing season, from spring to early autumn. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to a depth of 1 inch. Avoid creating soggy soil around the root system as this can cause the plant to become stressed and can lead to disease and other issues. In the spring and summer months, water the Hardy Hibiscus every 7-10 days. During cooler fall months, reduce the frequency of watering to once every 10-14 days. Make sure to check the soil for moisture before each watering and only water if needed.

Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus 'Anne Arundel') thrive in sunny spots with at least 6 hours of direct light per day. Although it will tolerate some shade, it will produce more vibrant blooms if it is given a full sunny exposure. This plant prefers moist, well-draining soil and should be watered as needed to keep the soil consistently moist, but not saturated.

Pruning Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus 'Anne Arundel') should typically be done twice per year; once in the spring and once in the late summer/early fall. In the spring, it is important to prune lightly and selectively to remove any dead or damaged stems, as well as any weak growth. This will help promote strong, healthy growth throughout the year. In the late summer/fall, it is important to again prune lightly, but with a bit more intensity in order to keep the shrub shaped and tidy. Specifically, removing spindly or leggy stems, as well as any stems that have bloomed will help your plant look its best. With these 2 yearly prunings, Hardy Hibiscus should thrive in your landscape.
