- Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, or Tropical Hibiscus, is a large species of flowering, tropical shrub native to Asia and the South Pacific. There are thousands of variations of flower forms and colors available today. Some are hybrids with complex, fancy flowers that require extra care and vigilant attention, but there are also many that are tough, resilient flowering shrubs that need only the bare basics to thrive and bring an explosion of color to a tropical or sub-tropical garden.
- Jane Cowl is an old heirloom Tropical Hibiscus Hybrid introduced in the early 20th Century and named for a famous actress of that time. It remains popular today for its ease of care, bushy, self-branching growth habit, and reliable production of tennis-ball sized, dense, double blooms of pastel peach orange. It has versatile uses.
- Care: When plants are mature and ready to be set out, plant in fertile, well-draining, acidic soil; water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, feed a good-quality, bloom-boosting fertilizer with the initial planting and annually in the Spring. Prune lightly and often after flowering. Protect from frost and freezing.
- Indoor Growing: Tropical Hibiscus do not adapt easily to indoor growing environments due to their specific needs for light, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Successful indoor cultivation will require significant modifications to an average growing space.
- Climate: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis are tropical plants recommended for outdoor growing within USDA Growing Zones 9, 10, 11. Cold protection is recommended in all Zones for optimum appearance, earliest flowering, and overall plant health.
