Hey, Aggie Girl.
In my opinion 10-10-10 is okay to use until you use it up. In a pinch I have used the Miracle Gro for tomatoes formula without loss of bloom, but it does make foliage more coarse because of its nitrogen sources.

Robert's suggestion for Miracle Grow 24-8-16 is one I'd agree with.

We mostly use the same Peat Lite Special 20-10-20 that he uses, but this product is primarily a wholesale marketed item.

Also, there is a Space City Hibiscus food, for which formulation I was one of the several consultants when it originated at the Space City Hibiscus Society in Pasadena, TX. It is fairly widely available in South Texas and beyond and one of your local nurseries may stock it. IF not, I'm sure you can buy it online, and it is packaged for low-cost retail sale.

We breed new hibiscus and sell rights to vendors like Robert, many thousands of pots of seedlings at any given time, and we rely upon the Peat Lite Special product or the Space City Hibiscus food with an even more ideal formula for hibiscus.
luck to you,
Barry
