These shrubs do not need routine pruning. If any pruning is required it involves removing any dead, dying, damaged and diseased wood. Cutting back any congested or crossing shoots, any branches that are growing in unwanted directions can also be pruned out. The best time to do this is in late-winter or early-spring.

Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. They are known for their large, showy flowers that come in a wide range of colours, including red, pink, yellow, and white.
Hibiscus plants are typically shrubs or small trees that can grow up to 15 feet in height. They have dark green leaves that are typically broad and oval in shape. The flowers of the hibiscus plant are large and showy, with five petals and a distinctive trumpet-shaped center. The flowers can range in size from small and compact to large and billowy, depending on the species.
Hibiscus plants are relatively easy to grow and care for. They prefer well-draining soil and full sun exposure, but can also tolerate partial shade. The plants are relatively drought tolerant, but will benefit from regular watering during periods of dry weather. Pruning should be done in the early spring to promote new growth and maintain the shape of the plant.
Hibiscus plants are commonly used as ornamental plants in gardens and landscaping, and can be planted in containers or as hedges. They are also used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Hibiscus tea, made from the dried flowers of the hibiscus plant, is a popular beverage in many parts of the world and is believed to have a variety of health benefits.
Hibiscus plants are a beautiful and versatile addition to any garden or landscape. With their large, showy flowers and easy-care nature, they are sure to brighten up any space. Whether grown for ornamental purposes or for their medicinal properties, hibiscus plants are an important member of the plant kingdom.
