Hibiscus 'Cranberry'
Thrives in warm climates (24–30°C), requiring full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). Water moderately, fertilize with balanced nutrients, mulch for moisture retention, and prune for bushy growth. Watch for aphids and whiteflies; avoid root rot by ensuring good drainage. Calyxes are ready 3–4 weeks after flowering (120–180 days from planting). Leaves are edible when young.
