The tropical hibiscus grown by Costa Farms are bred for bold color, strong growth, and reliable performance. Each variety is grown to deliver maximum impact on patios, porches, decks, and other sun-filled areas.

Don't worry if you don't see blooms in store! To protect plant health during transit, tropical hibiscus are shipped without open blooms. This helps prevent stress and damage while the plant is on the move. Once you bring your hibiscus home and place it in full sun, new buds will quickly develop. From here you can enjoy non-stop flowering through spring and summer!

For best results, provide 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Regular feeding with a slow-release fertilizer during spring and summer encourages continuous blooming, always follow package directions.

As flowers fade, you may remove spent blooms and yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy, though this is optional and mainly cosmetic. Hibiscus are tropical plants, so if you live in a cooler climate, bring them indoors before frost and place them in a bright window for the winter. In warm, subtropical areas, hibiscus can continue blooming outdoors year-round.
