Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Peach Cobbler'
Light: Morning sun with afternoon shade; avoid reflected heat from west-facing walls and pavement.
Water: Moderate to high water needs in Phoenix. Water deeply when the top 1–2 inches of soil begin to dry; maintain even moisture without waterlogging. Containers may need daily watering during extreme summer heat. Reduce watering in winter.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; slightly acidic to neutral preferred. Use a quality, freely draining potting mix for containers.
Mature size: Typically about 4–6 feet tall and 3–5 feet wide; size varies with pruning, container size, and winter damage.
Bloom: Repeated blooms from spring through fall in warm conditions; flowering may slow during extreme summer heat or winter cold.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen in frost-free conditions; may drop leaves during cold weather or environmental stress.
Growth rate: Moderate to fast with adequate warmth, water, and nutrition.
