Have you ever gone out into your garden to deadhead your Hibiscus and wondered if you see a new bud about to open or one that’s spent? 🤔🌺
We struggle too! Here is how to tell new vs. old blooms on Hibiscus:
New blooms will be tightly wrapped in a cone shape and the center pistil will not be visible.
Old or spent Hibiscus blooms will appear wilted. Petals will be very loose and become papery or even soggy.
🌺Here’s a fun fact about Hibiscus: their blooms last for only one day! They open in the morning for pollinators and close at night to preserve energy!
