How Do I Prune My Hardy Hibiscus Plan In Preparation For The Growing Season?

Question

I am getting ready to prune my hardy hibiscus and am not sure how to do it. Do I take the whole thing to the ground or just trim back the branches?

Answer 1

This depends on the age of the shrub. If it is very old, and getting unmanageable, then you can prune it to the ground. If this is a young, and productive, shrub, then only prune what is completely dead.
