Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis ‘Red’, commonly known as Red Hibiscus, is a stunning tropical shrub prized for its large, vibrant red blooms that add a bold splash of color to any garden. The flowers are trumpet-shaped with soft, velvety petals and a prominent yellow-tipped stamen, creating a striking contrast against its dark green, glossy foliage. Blooming from spring through fall, this Hibiscus is perfect for brightening up patios, gardens, or as a container plant. With its ability to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis ‘Red’ is a popular choice for pollinator gardens and tropical landscapes.

Type of Light: Full Sun
Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis ‘Red’ thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant blooms. It performs best in bright, sunny locations but can tolerate partial shade, though blooming may be reduced.

Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
This Hibiscus prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Water regularly, especially during hot months, typically every 1-2 weeks. Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. During the cooler months, reduce watering slightly as the plant becomes less active.

Companion Planting:
Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis ‘Red’ pairs beautifully with other tropical plants like Bird of Paradise, Plumeria, and Bougainvillea. It also works well alongside Lavender or Lantana for a Mediterranean-style garden. These companions thrive in similar light and watering conditions, creating a vibrant, tropical landscape.
