Satin® 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
Grows in any soil unless it is either very dry or very wet. Prune in late winter or early spring. Can be heavily pruned, although this is usually unnecessary. Prefers medium moisture. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for recommended rate of application. A supplemental dose of liquid fertilizer may be needed in mid-summer. They are very heavy feeders, light green foliage is an indication of underfeeding.
