Hibiscus Coccineus The hibiscus genus is made up of more than 200 species both deciduous and evergreen, shrubs, trees, annual and herbaceous perennials.
It is grown for it's funnel shaped bloom. While blooming a long time, it can be enjoyed in full sun and requires a rich, moist, well-drained soil. To do nicely, hibiscus need a long, hot, summer. Many die back only to come back bigger and better next year. They do best in zones 7 - 11. Seeds may be sown in the spring, or divide the perennial in the spring. Greenwood can be rooted in the spring or semi-ripe cuttings in the summer. Layering will also work in the spring or summer.
