This 10-inch hibiscus is a vibrant tropical flowering plant potted and ready for patios, decks, porches, container gardens, or landscape beds. Shipped averaging 2-3 feet tall in a 10-inch grower pot, it arrives ready to display and enjoy from the moment it arrives.

Hibiscus thrives in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, producing large, bold blooms that attract butterflies while naturally resisting rabbits and deer. The plant prefers consistently moist soil — water when the top inch of potting mix dries to the touch, which may be daily in hot weather. Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix containing peat moss, perlite, or coco coir for best results. For fertilizing, choose a formula with high potassium and low phosphorous (such as an NPK of 17-5-24) to encourage prolific flowering.

Move the plant outdoors only when nighttime temperatures are reliably above 50°F. In colder climates, tropical hibiscus can be overwintered indoors as a houseplant in a sunny window. Pinching the tips of new growth encourages a full, bushy shape rather than tall and leggy growth.
