This Central African Hibiscus species has an upright and spreading form which highlights the deeply curved petals and dangling stamens. Often called Japanese Lantern, it's a sporadic bloomer. But when it does flower, watch out! Grow in rich, well-drained soil and provide plenty of water and fertilizer. Since flowers form on new wood, regular pruning helps to maintain a nice shape and stimulate more blooms.

Tips for Success: 

• Sun, sun and more sun.• They are warm-growing plants and suffer if subjected to    cool temperatures over extended periods. As a rule, keep    temperatures above 65°F, especially in the winter.• Water on visual soil dryness or plant wilt. Severe wilt can hurt   them. Careful watering is critical during the winter or anytime   when the light level is low and temperatures are cool.• Under high light and warm temperatures they are   heavy feeders and need a balanced fertilizer applied   on a regular basis. A fertilizer like Dyna Gro “Grow” 7-9-5 will   help induce blooms.• Flowering varies widely between varieties. Full sun, warm   temperatures, a balanced fertilizer and careful attention to   watering will produce the best results for your hibiscus.
