perennial hibiscus #873480

Asked June 17, 2024, 3:27 PM EDT

I now have 3 'HARDY HIBISCUS" plants in my garden. Can I prune them at some point to keep them from getting leggy? I have been staking my original one. How can I keep them bushy not leggy?

Hennepin County Minnesota

Expert Response

To make them bushy rather than leggy they can be pruned in early spring or pinched back before the Fourth of July.
