To help hibiscus shrubs produce a great display of flowers in Spring and Summer, it is important to give them a hard pruning in September.

As a rough guide fertilise  your hibiscus about one month before pruning them. When you are ready to prune your plants, make sure the blades of your secateurs or loppers are clean and cut your plants back by about one third.

 Although your hibiscus will look a little bare immediately after being pruned, new growth will shoot back very quickly and within a couple of months new flowers will start to appear. Good luck.
