Hibiscus, When to Prune

kasgerty@ asks:

Question

I have 2 hibiscus, I need to know when to cut them down to bloom in the spring I bring then in for the winter and they bloomed all winter I cut them back and here it is end of aug and they are just starting to bloom.


Answer

Hibiscus can handle heavy pruning so anytime of year will work. If you want them to bloom in the spring I would do the heaviest pruning in the late fall. In spring start the hibiscus on a regular fertilizing schedule to encourage the new growth and flowers.
