The plant is native to (sub-) tropical regions. Hibiscus has annual species, perennials, shrubs and small trees.<br>\nHibiscus blooms with large, striking flowers. Hibiscus are host plants for various (tropical) butterflies.<br>\nThe common garden hibiscus <em>(Hibiscus syriacus)<\/em> is the most popular in gardens because it&rsquo;s hardy. The garden hibiscus is the national plant of South Korea and the rose of China <em>(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)<\/em> that of Malaysia. The rose of China is used in our temperate regions as a evergreen houseplant for a warm greenhouse or conservatory.<br>\nThe common garden hibiscus is a deciduous woody shrub that can reach 2 to 3 m in height and 2 m in width over the years (slow grower). The leaves of the garden hibiscus do not appear until late spring; flowers grow from the leaf axils. In warm, sunny summers, the garden hibiscus blooms on annual branches from August well into autumn. During rainy periods, the flower buds may fall off.<br>\nThe common garden hibiscus likes a sheltered spot in the sun and an airy, loose soil with plenty of humus. In times of drought, watering is necessary.<br>\nThe garden hibiscus tolerates pruning, preferably in March.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Bugs&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1161\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1161\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bladluis.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1161\" src=\"https:\/\/plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bladluis-500x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bladluis-500x450.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bladluis.jpg 677w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1161\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ap<wbr><\/wbr>hids, photo Rasbak &ndash; CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aph<wbr><\/wbr>ids on and under leaves.
