Chinese Hibiscus

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a bushy, evergreen shrub or small tree growing 2.5–5 m (8–16 ft) tall and 1.5–3 m (5–10 ft) wide.

The plant has a branched taproot.

Its stem is aerial, erect, green, cylindrical, and branched.

Its leaves are simple and petiolate, with alternate phyllotaxy.

Hibiscus don’t like to dry out and prefer an evenly moist root ball.

After planting in the ground, it is important to give supplemental water the first year as needed until the plant is well established.

When potting, choose a container that is sized to the plant.
