Bring bold, tropical color to your patio or garden with Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Hollywood Hibiscus(R) Rico Suave(TM)'. You get a compact, glossy-leaved, evergreen hibiscus that flowers best with lots of light and warm temperatures. Expect mature size around 48-60 inches tall with a broad, mounding habit (often similar in width), making it an easy focal point for entryways, pool areas, and sunny beds.

Place your plant in full sun for the heaviest bloom, but it will tolerate light shade, especially in very hot afternoon exposures. Plant in rich, well-drained soil and keep moisture consistent; water deeply when the top inch of soil dries, and do not let containers sit in standing water. Feed regularly during the growing season to support steady growth and repeat flowering.

In zones with cool winters, treat it as a container plant so you can move it indoors before frost. Give it a bright window (or supplemental light), reduce watering during winter rest, and prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Watch for common hibiscus pests such as aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and spider mites and address early for best results.
