ADVICES
It is recommended to plant it in the sun or shield from any wind. Hibiscus syriacus requires fertile well-drained and sub-acidic ground. Sandy soil with compost is the best one.
Hibiscus syriacus requires constantly damp soil, thus it is necessary to water it during a period of drought. The plant should be fertilized with compound fertilizers for ornamental bushes.

In order to protect it against freezing, in late autumn raise a small mound made of soil, sawdust or peat on the root system, whereas cover sprouts with thick fabric or straw matting.
