Deadheading Hardy Hibiscus For More Flowers.

Sometimes it is easy to forget about deadheading, but with minimal effort, it can prolong the flowering of hardy hibiscus.

I garden in zone 6b. We have some pretty challenging weather sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert, so you will see my successes and my failures. I really appreciate feedback, so please say hi so I'll know you've dropped by.

Hey thank you for posting this, I am starting to have insight as to why my Hibiscus is not producing any new flowers. So each stem produces three or four flowers which are attached to the main stem by a...idk what the word is...mini stem. I've been cutting off the flowers by the mini stems thinking it would encourage new flower growth but it has been over a month now nothing has grown from where I cut them. Is the only way to grow new flowers to cut the entire stem that contains that bunch of three or four flowers?

Thanks for the video. I have tropical hibiscus? Should I still deadhead this way or is it only for the hardy hibiscus?

during a hard freeze last year I to cut a few hibiscus back in the spring below the frozen limbs. Now those plants have beautiful green foliage but produced no flowers blooms. Help, what do I need to do to get flower blooms again.

You pruned the whole branch not deadhead.

Can you plant the seed pod to grow more plants?

[Dee-gkzg]

Thanks for this! How long does it take for the buds to emerge once you do this?

This is improper way to dead head hibiscus all I do is pinch the flower seed pods off just under them is a little bend in the stem if you squeeze it they fall right off and you don’t damage any spot where it could grow more flowers.
