watering
The Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Minfren' FIRST EDITIONS BALI) needs a consistent supply of water to thrive. It should be watered deeply and evenly once per week, ensuring that the soil is saturated and the root system is regularly hydrated. If the soil feels dry 1 inch below the surface; if it is humid or hot temperatures, it is best to water twice per week. In colder months, the plants should be watered a bit less.
sunlight
For a Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Minfren' FIRST EDITIONS BALI) to thrive, it should be planted in a full sun environment. This means that the plant should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, preferably in the morning. While it can tolerate some afternoon shade, Rose of Sharon requires a lot of light to flower properly and produce vibrant blooms.
pruning
Pruning for the Rose of Sharon variety 'Minfren' should be done in late winter or early spring, prior to the growing season. The best way to prune this variety is to selectively remove any dead, diseased, broken, or crossing branches, and then to lightly prune back healthy branches by 1-third. This helps maintain the desired size and shape of the plant, as well as promoting flower growth. Pruning should be done every 2-3 years and any deadheading should be done after the flowering season. It is best to use pruners that are sharp and clean, to avoid any damage or spread of disease to the plant.
