Time Frame

Prune hardy hibiscus in the early spring, before new growth appears. Prune established hibiscus by 1/3 every spring to encourage regrowth.

Benefits

Hibiscus plants respond well to pruning, which encourages new foliage growth and blooms. The hibiscus can be pruned to a preferred size without fear of damaging it.

Considerations

Hardy hibiscus will die to the ground if kept outside in areas that experience cold winters. New growth will appear in the spring.
