Beginner Gardening: Hardy hibiscus, 1 by

You may have already moved the plant but here are my 2 cents worth anyway. It can be applied to any plant.

If I have a choice, I transplant in the Spring before too much growth, or while the plant is dormant. Hibiscus are late waking up from their winter sleep and usually don't begin growing until June with warm weather.

I have 3 hardy Hibiscus and one had to be moved to join the other 2. Did so in the Spring. Hibiscus grow new stems each year and bloom on new wood so early transplanting may net you some blooms the same year.

Follow Weenell advise except tap the soil down gently and leave an inch. Then water to settle the soil around the roots. Once water has drained, add soil to level of the ground.

Replanted in the Spring, the plant will be acclimated to its new home and be ready for winter weather.

Below are my 3 Hibiscus, all from seed .
