Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Red Dragon' (Tropical Hibiscus) is an upright, well-branched, evergreen shrub noted for its spectacular, scarlet-red, double flowers. Blooming profusely all summer long, the flowers stand out against the foliage of oval-shaped, dark green leaves. A flamboyant addition to the landscape with its dazzling abundance of blooms.

• Typically grows up to 6-8 ft. tall (180-240 cm) with a spread of 3-4 ft. (90-120 cm).
• A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is best grown in organically rich, consistently moist, well-drained soils. Provide a site sheltered from strong winds. Water freely during the growing season and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly. Water sparingly in winter.
• Watch for aphids, mealybugs, scale insects and powdery mildew. Deer resistant.
• Plant as a specimen, flowering hedge, or in containers.
• Tropical Hibiscus is sensitive to changing conditions. Changes in light or temperature during the growing season may result in bud drop.
• Prune out 1/3 of old wood plus cut back stems by 1/2 in early spring to keep the plant healthy and compact.
• Propagate by seed at 13-18°C (55-64°F) in spring or propagate by semi-ripe cuttings in summer
