Hibiscus syriacus - Hibiscus is a large genus of flowering plants in the Malvaceae or mallow family.

They prefer a sunny location and well-drained soil that contains plenty of organic matter. Hibiscus will tolerate light shade and less desirable soils, but their vigor and flowering will be reduced. Plenty of water is necessary for the most abundant blooming. Newly planted hibiscus will need more frequent watering, similar to other newly planted perennials.
