Planting & Growing

Dream Hibiscus reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and wide at maturity. Space plants approximately 3 to 4 feet apart for best performance. It grows quickly and provides reliable seasonal interest. As a perennial, it dies back to the crown in winter and regrows each spring -- avoid disturbing the crown during dormancy.

This plant thrives in full sun and prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly until established, then maintain moderate moisture. It adapts well to different soil types and pH levels, tolerates urban conditions, and benefits from mulching in colder zones. Excellent for both in-ground and container use, where its striking blooms and foliage serve as a focal point.
