watering
Hardy hibiscus, also known as Hibiscus 'Cranberry Crush', should be watered deeply and regularly to ensure that it thrives. During hot weather, water the hardy hibiscus at least twice a week, providing 1 to 2 inches of water each time to ensure that the soil stays moist and the roots do not dry out. In cooler weather, you may only need to water the plant once a week. If the soil feels dry to the touch, it is likely that the plant needs to be watered. Unusually heavy or frequent rains can help provide natural irrigation for the hardy hibiscus, however, excess moisture should be avoided as it can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus 'Cranberry Crush') thrive in full sun to part shade, and prefer 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. When direct sunlight is not available, they appreciate bright, indirect sunlight for the rest of the day. Too much shade and the plants may become weaker and leggy. Ensure that the Hardy Hibiscus receives ample sunlight to encourage flowering.
pruning
Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus 'Cranberry Crush') should be pruned in early spring, just as its new growth begins to emerge. Prune at least 1-third of the older growth, as well as removing any dead, damaged, or diseased branches. This will help the plant to produce healthier, fuller growth and flowers. To maintain its natural shape, prune lightly and regularly throughout the season.
