Hibiscus syriacus Woodbridge STD

Woodbridge Rose of Sharon STD

This grafted hibiscus is a highly prized ornamental shrub for its elegant silhouette and abundant flowering. Its straight trunk develops a well-formed crown, covered all summer until early autumn with large, single, bright magenta-pink flowers, highlighted by a dark red center. This hibiscus offers a tropical touch to gardens while being well-adapted to temperate climates.
Care: Before frost: If grown in the ground, dig up the hibiscus before the first frost and place it in a pot to protect it during the winter.
Indoor location: Place it in a bright, cool spot (between 5 and 10°C), away from drafts and heaters.
Watering: Water moderately, only when the soil is dry. Ensure water does not stagnate in the pot to prevent root rot.
Fertilization: Do not fertilize during the winter. Resume in spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote flowering.
Pruning: Lightly prune dead or damaged branches before bringing the plant indoors for the winter.
Bringing the plant back outdoors: Once the risk of frost has passed (end of May), gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor sunlight to avoid thermal shock.
