Tequila Yellow Hibiscus Bush

1. Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for your Tequila Yellow Hibiscus Bush. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but just as deep. Remove the plant from its container carefully, loosening any tightly bound roots. Place it in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Water generously after planting to settle the soil around the roots.

2. Watering: Initially, keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy to establish strong roots. Once established, the Tequila Yellow Hibiscus is relatively drought-tolerant, requiring periodic watering every week or two in dry conditions. In extremely hot seasons, monitor closely, as it may need more frequent watering, especially if planted in direct sunlight.

3. Pruning: Prune your hibiscus in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches to maintain shape and promote healthy growth. A light trimming can also encourage more blooms and a fuller appearance as the season progresses.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering plants in early spring as new growth appears. Follow package instructions for dosage based on your plant’s size. Additional applications every 6-8 weeks during the growing season will support vibrant blooms and robust health.
