Cold hardy for hibiscus, it can over winter in temperatures as cold as 20 degrees below zero with a heavy mulch covering the root ball to insulate it. 'Red Heart Hibiscus has a naturally attractive form and only needs pruning to tidy up its shape and/or to maintain a desired size. Pruning back stems also encourages more blooms and can increase air circulation within the plant to help prevent disease, but pruning should be done sparingly, after flowering has finished. Removing up to ⅓ of the overall shrub creates a fuller bush with larger blooms. Keep in mind that these shrubs bloom directly on older wood or on shoots that come off old wood.Here is how to plant your cuttings When to take rose of Sharon cuttings is not complicated, as taking cuttings from rose of Sharon bushes is easy and versatile. You can do it at almost any time of year and plant it in a few different ways. In early to midsummer, take green rose of Sharon plant cuttings. This means you should cut the shoots from the bush that grew in spring. In late fall or even winter, take hardwood cuttings that have been on the bush for at least one season.Planting Rose of Sharon Cuttings Have a pot with soil ready to plant the cuttings. I leave the leaves and seed pods on the cuttings, they will be wilted when they arrive but you will be cutting all the leaves off before you put them in the pot so don't worry. If you want to use the seeds shake the cuttings over a towel or something to catch the seeds, if you want more cut off the brown pods that are closed and put them aside. Now take the cuttings, cut them into 6 to 8 inch pieces using a clean sharp snipper and cut at an angle. You can dip your cutting (the bottom end with the leaves removed) in a rooting hormone ( a great rooting hormone is cinnamon ) Now remove the seed pods and all but the top few leaves of each cutting and put them in a pot of well draining soil. Pat down the soil around them and soak the soil with water. Put the pots in a sunny spot so they get bright but indirect light and keep the soil moist.If you want to use the seeds, Growing rose of sharon seeds is easy.
