watering

Water your hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'Disco Belle Pink') deeply, once or twice a week during hot, dry weather. When the top few inches of soil have dried out, it's time to water again. Make sure to water the root zone of the plant, not just the surface. During cooler, rainy periods, it's best to let the soil slowly dry between waterings. Keep an eye on the foliage, if it starts to curl or wilt, it may be a sign that the plant needs more water.

sunlight

Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos 'Disco Belle Pink') prefers full sun, meaning that it needs at least 6-to-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. During periods of intense heat, some partial shade during the hottest part of the day is beneficial. During the summer months, when the days are at their longest and temperatures at their hottest, it is best to ensure that the hibiscus plant receives morning sun and afternoon shade.

pruning

Hardy hibiscus should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning should involve removing any dead or diseased stems. Pinch back or thin out unruly stems to encourage a more controlled, attractive shape. On established plants, reduce the length of any long stems by up to 1-third to promote more new growth. Throughout the season, selectively prune off individual diseased or damaged flowers or stems as needed.
