| Botanical Name | Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Big Bang' |
| Description | 'Big Bang' is a premier tropical hibiscus variety for the Houston metro area, known for its extraordinary bloom size and complex color patterns. The flowers often feature a blend of warm sunset tones, including orange, yellow, and red, creating a "burst" effect. While it loves the humidity of Southeast Texas, it is a heavy feeder and requires consistent moisture. In our region, it is best grown in large containers that can be moved to a protected area during the winter, as it is highly sensitive to freezing temperatures and will not survive a frost. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for bloom size and color intensity) |
| Height x Width | 4-6 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Medium to High; requires regular watering, especially during the peak of summer. Do not let the soil dry out completely. |
| Zones | 10 - 11 (Must be protected from all freezing temperatures) |
| Fertilization | Apply a water-soluble hibiscus fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growing season to support continuous flowering. |
| Pruning | Lightly prune in early spring to shape the plant and encourage fresh growth where flower buds form. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
