Grow the Luna White Hibiscus in zones 5 through 9.
Luna White Hibiscus Care
A sunny location helps the Luna White Hibiscus thrive. Plant this shrub in a spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Young plants prefer consistently damp soil, while established plants need water weekly. The Luna White Hibiscus can handle a dry spell but try to keep up with watering during a drought to maintain plant health and blooming. Hibiscus plants like rich, moist soil that promotes drainage. Apply a thick layer of mulch to retain dampness and keep the plant hydrated longer. Fertilize each spring using a slow-release product.
Regular pruning keeps the plant manageable and tidy while encouraging a full form. Trim the Luna White Hibiscus in late winter or early spring.
Luna White Hibiscus Spacing
The Luna White Hibiscus is a fast-growing shrub that reaches up to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 3 feet apart from center to center for a continuous hedge.
