🌺 Hibiscus ‘Starry Wind’
(Genus: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)

Bold, tropical, and beautifully expressive — Hibiscus ‘Starry Wind’ stands out with its dramatic red petals illuminated by bright, star-like yellow flares that radiate from the center.

🌞 Light Requirements

Prefers full sun for maximum bloom production but tolerates partial shade. More sun = more flowers.

💧 Watering

Keeps happiest with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water deeply in the morning and avoid letting the soil completely dry out. Hibiscus is moisture-loving but dislikes soggy soil.

🌱 Soil & pH

Grows well in most tropical mixes; prefers moist, well-drained soil with a pH of approximately 5.5–7.5.

✂️ Pruning

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage fuller branching and increased blooming.

❄️ Winter Care (for colder climates)

If overwintering indoors, reduce watering and place in bright light. Outdoors in borderline climates, apply mulch for added root protection.
