Hibiscus bushes thrive in Florida's warm climate, needing full sun (6+ hours), moist, well-drained soil, and regular water, especially in summer, but avoid soggy roots. They are popular for colorful hedges and accents, with varieties like native Turk's Cap (great for hummingbirds) and tropical Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, which love humidity but need frost protection in colder zones (9+) by moving containers indoors. Fertilize during the growing season with a bloom-boosting formula, and watch for pests like aphids and spider mites.
