Lil' Kim™ Rose of Sharon Hibiscus syriacus
Spring to Fall Finish, 1 ppp
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
Say hello to the first dwarf Rose of Sharon! Lil' Kim is unique little shrub with dainty little white flowers punctuated with a showy red eye. The plant appear to be a polyploid because it has thick, dark green leaves and the flowers last for three days instead of the typical one day before falling. Be sure to add supplemental micronutrients to your fertilizer solution for best results.
Hibiscus are very heavy feeders, light colored foliage coloration and yellowing of veins is an indication for underfeeding. Yellowing in the veins can be an indicator of underfeeding. Best if planted in well-drained soil. Does not like to be extremely wet or dry. Prune in late winter or early spring and apply a shrub fertilizer in early spring for the best show of flowers. Has moderate growth habit.
