Transplanting a Hibiscus plant

Question

I live in Connecticut and I have a hibiscus plant that is planted outside and comes up every year. It’s beautiful but has become very large for its area. When can I dig it up and transplant it? And I’d like to separate it and give some to a friend.

Answer 1

Early fall is a great time to transplant a plant. Don't wait too long into fall, or else the plant will not have time to establish before cold weather sets in. If you cannot do it this fall, spring is also a good time.
