Description

Single Red Hibiscus is the quintessential tropical flower, embodying the vibrant spirit and bold beauty of warm climates. This evergreen shrub or small tree produces an impressive succession of large, brilliant scarlet-red, single-petaled flowers with a prominent, protruding column of yellow stamens. Each striking bloom, which can reach up to 6 inches across, typically lasts just a day but is quickly replaced by new ones from spring through fall, and nearly year-round in frost-free areas. With its glossy, deep green foliage and upright habit, it serves as a stunning focal point, hedge, or spectacular container specimen.

Faqs

Q: What are the key care requirements for optimal blooming?
A: It requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours), regular watering during the growing season (allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings), and monthly feeding with a high-potassium fertilizer (like a hibiscus or bloom booster formula) from spring to fall.

Q: Can it survive winter outdoors in the Bay Area (Zone 9a)?
A: In the warmest, most sheltered microclimates (like San Francisco), it may survive as a perennial if mulched heavily. However, it is sensitive to frost and temperatures below 35°F (2°C). To be safe, it is often grown in containers that can be brought indoors or into a protected greenhouse during winter.
