Plant description
Hibiscus 'Cairo Apricot' is a medium sized shrub with gorgeous large apricot coloured flowers through the warm months of the year. Great for adding a tropical feel to gardens. Frost tender and dislikes dry spells, but in a rich and moist soil in warm areas it will flourish and produce masses of blooms. Feed in spring and through summer with a good general purpose fertiliser. Prune to encourage a more dense habit and new growth. Hibiscus beetle can do a lot of damage, if troubled by them the plant may need to be sprayed.
