'Big Hit Pink' is a high-impact perennial designed for the Gulf Coast climate. It produces spectacular, oversized soft pink flowers that stand out against its lush foliage. Unlike tropical varieties, this hibiscus is root-hardy and enters dormancy in winter, returning vigorously in spring. It is exceptionally well-suited for the Houston metro area because it can tolerate the heavy, moist soils often found in the region. While it enjoys moisture, ensure the area doesn't have standing, stagnant water to maintain long-term root health.
Exposure
Full Sun (Essential for large blooms and strong stems)
Height x Width
3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide

Fertilization
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer or a slow-release bloom booster.
Pruning
In late winter, cut the previous year's woody stems down to about 6 inches above the ground.
