How do I plant a Hibiscus syriacus 'Ardens'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Hibiscus syriacus 'Ardens'. This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for healthy plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted.

Pruning a Hibiscus syriacus 'Ardens'

Hibiscus syriacus 'Ardens' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This shrub can be pruned once a year. Remove any crossing, dead, or protruding branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease.

Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot. Once established, this plant can tolerate some drought, but young plants need regular watering to help them settle in.

Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, as fertilisers activate with moisture.
