Tips for successfully growing Hibiscus Carousel Ghost ®
To ensure optimal growth of Hibiscus Carousel Ghost ®, plant it in spring after the last frost, in rich, well-drained soil that retains moisture. A sunny location is ideal, although it can tolerate partial shade in hotter climates. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season, as the plant thrives in moist environments. Mulching around the base will help maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature. In containers, use a fertile, moisture-retentive potting mix and ensure good drainage. Prune back stems in late winter to encourage healthy, vigorous growth in spring. For colder climates, apply a protective mulch layer or move potted plants to a frost-free location. With proper care, this hibiscus will reward you with abundant, showy blooms throughout the summer.
