The Beautiful & Tropical Sea Hibiscus

Very similar to the hibiscus plant, the Sea Hibiscus flowers look a bit different but still beautiful & perfect for growing in evergreen gardens.

Hibiscus Tiliaceus, are fast growing shrubs that often grow into trees, so when asking weather its a tree or a shrub the answer is both, its all up to you and how you want to grow it, a small brush or a tree that can grow up to 20 feet?

The one thing I really love about these evergreen shrubs flowers are that they first star off as beautiful bright yellow flowers and as the day goes on it slowly turns into an orange flower then blend to a red flower then a brownish color till it dies and falls off as you will see in the flowers pictures of them.

But these tropical flowers only last for one day, sometimes two if you’re lucky.

This plant originated in Pacific and Indian oceans and tropical Asia and said to be a tropical rainforest plat at one time.

These beautiful plants with its big dep gren heart shaped leaves that can get up to 8 inches long, love to be in a well drained soil.

When watering these fast growing shrubs make sure to let it dry out a bit before thoroughly soaking the soil. It love lots of water.

Don’t be afraid to spray down the whole shrub branches, flowers and leaves once in a while, they love that as well.

If you want greener leaves and want to boost the blooms it is best to use a liquid fertilizer every two to three months.

It grows its best when in zones 10 to 11.
