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. Cutting is not required but it contributes to high blooming of the shrub. Cutting should be performed in the spring. It should be made over the bud turned towards the outside. 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.
