Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the pot, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help roots establish. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Turk's Cap is fairly drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to encourage bushy growth and remove any dead or damaged stems. In cooler zones (below zone 8), grow in containers and overwinter indoors or treat as an annual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 rooted starter plants of Turk's Cap (Sleeping Hibiscus) with red flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871861768328,"sku":"seed - turk's cap-401","price":63.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_7abbbac3-3a83-4e51-908b-2dcea416e7c9.jpg?v=1793979145","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/2-turks-cap-plants-rooted-starter-sleeping-hibiscus-with-red-flowers","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
