Hibiscus are a genus that really benefits from a light pruning since a hard or traditional shearing will shut them down for 3-4 weeks.

Aphids, Whiteflies and thrips can be problematic

Grower Tips: 

Adaptable to most soils. Prune in late winter/early spring. Can be heavily pruned although this is usually unnecessary. Fertilize in spring; supplemental liquid fertilizer in summer may be needed. It can be forced into flower by breaking dormancy in late February for may flowering in greenhouse production. They are very heavy feeders; light colored foliage coloration and yellowing of veins is an indication of underfeeding. Supplemental micro-nutrients are necessary.
The Pink Chiffon™ has the same flower power and soft, graceful stems of other Chiffon varieties, but with large, soft pink flowers.

The White Chiffon™ has large single flowers which are adorned with a lacy center to create an anemone-like bloom.
The Lavender Chiffon™ is a whole new look for Rose of Sharon (Hardy Hibiscus) straight from England! Large, single lavender flowers are adorned with a lacy center to create an anemone-like bloom.
The Blue Chiffon™ has the same great Chiffon vigorous growth and lacy blooms. Large, single blue flowers adorned with a lacy center to create an anemone-like bloom. Bold yet delicate, Blue Chiffon is a star in the garden from late summer to fall.
