Hibiscus Hot Shot (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a vibrant tropical plant celebrated for its striking, showy blooms and lush foliage that offer an exotic touch. This particular variety is known for its bright red flowers and robust growth, providing an eye-catching focal point in any garden or landscape.

Blooms: The standout feature of Hibiscus Hot Shot is its stunning flowers that showcase a fiery red hue. The blooms feature a classic trumpet shape with ruffled edges, creating a dramatic visual impact. These gorgeous flowers typically appear from spring through fall, providing an extended blooming season that enhances the beauty of the garden. 

Foliage: The foliage of Hibiscus Hot Shot features glossy, dark green leaves that create a lush backdrop for the vibrant flowers. The leaves are ovate and sturdy, contributing to the overall fullness of the plant and providing a tropical flair. This hibiscus variety is generally evergreen in warmer climates, retaining its foliage year-round. 

Size: Hibiscus Hot Shot is a bushy plant that typically grows 4 to 5 feet high with a similar spread. Its compact and dense form makes it an ideal choice for borders or as a decorative hedge. The plant's vigorous growth habit allows it to effectively fill garden spaces, creating a striking display of color and form.

Sun and Soil Requirements: This hibiscus requires full sun for optimal bloom production. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering is essential, particularly during dry spells. However, care should be taken to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot and affect the overall health of the plant.

Pruning: Prune Hibiscus Hot Shot in early spring before the onset of new growth to maintain an attractive shape and encourage new growth. Light pruning throughout the growing season can help manage its size and promote its bushy habit, while removing any dead or damaged leaves will enhance its overall health and appearance. 

Landscape Use: Hibiscus Hot Shot is an incredibly versatile plant that can enhance a range of landscape settings, including garden beds, borders, patios, and pool areas. Its vibrant blooms and lush foliage make it excellent in group plantings or in container gardens, offering a tropical aesthetic to outdoor spaces. 

With its breathtaking blooms and lush, evergreen foliage, Hibiscus Hot Shot is a delightful addition to any garden. Bring home this stunning hibiscus today, and enjoy the vibrant color and joy it brings to your outdoor sanctuary for seasons to come!
