Hibiscus 'Perfect Storm' displays large, ruffled, deep red flowers with dark foliage.
Caring for Perfect Storm Hibiscus, a variety of Hibiscus syriacus, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. This deciduous shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade. Plant it in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water the plant regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize the shrub in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Prune the plant in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or weak branches and shape it as desired. Perfect Storm Hibiscus is generally resistant to pests and diseases but keep an eye out for any signs of trouble.
