Hibiscus Question

Help! We moved here a year ago and the blooms on this hibiscus bush or brilliant. I had never had one before so I read up on it and took the blooms off as advised. This year it is barely blooming and many of the branches are bare. Anything I can do to bring this beautiful plant back to life?

That looks to be a Hydrangea, rather than Hibiscus. They don't have similar care, so it will be necessary to treat it differently than a Hibiscus.

Pruning out of season can harm new flowering buds. Proper pruning, along with proper feeding schedule, will ensure that your Hydrangeas flower, nicely, each year.

Here are some articles that will help:
