My Luna Red hibiscus has not bloomed by mid July. Its covered with clusters of small buds rather than larger ones this year. Should I de-bud some of the buds to get large flowers?

Q10309 - GROWING TIPS: My Luna Red hibiscus has not bloomed by mid July. Its covered with clusters of small buds rather than larger ones this year. Should I de-bud some of the buds to get large flowers?

Hi Katie This is about the time Luna Hibiscus, which has over-wintered, would bloom here in the Midwest. We would suggest not removing buds. These plants do require full sun and ample moisture to do their best.
