Things You'll Need:
- Hardy hibiscus plant
- Shovel
- Organic material
- Fertilizer
-
Step 1
Pick a plant. Perennial hibiscus are available in a variety of colors and sizes.
-
Step 2
Purchase a plant or seeds. Home and garden centers sometimes carry perennial hibiscus, but you might be able to find a wider variety of plants available online.
-
Step 3
Pick a suitable site. Many perennial hibiscus can grow four or even six feet tall, so they might require a large space in your garden or yard. Perennial hibiscus will also grow best in an area that gets plenty of sun.
-
Step 4
Prepare the plant site by adding organic materials like compost if your soil lacks nutrients or is sandy.
-
Step 5
Plant the plant or seeds in your site. Bonemeal can encourage root growth to young plants.
-
Step 6
Water deeply at least until the plant is established. Hibiscus prefers moist soil.
-
Step 7
Fertilize after the plant is established. A well-rounded fertilizer will encourage strong growth and abundant flowering. Follow the directions on your fertilizer. Most last about six to eight weeks.
-
Step 8
Trim back your hibiscus when it gets chilly. Many plants will die back to the ground before winter, but be assured that it will grow back again in spring.
