Hibiscus Moscheutos Luna Red

What is the plant

Few flowers can top the huge, saucer-shaped and brightly colored flowers of the hardy hibiscus plant. Although some of these plants can become quite large, hibiscus plants in a series called "Luna" (Hibiscus moscheutos "Luna") are dwarfs and are easy to keep within bounds. They have flowers in several colors, depending on the cultivar, and are easy to grow when given the correct light and other growing conditions

Pruning
Dead fronds and leaves can be removed.
Fertilizer
Use a fertilizer formulated specifically for your plant. Avoid over-fertilizing and follow the instruction on the label.
