Hibiscus trees, known for large flowers used often in Hawaiian art and design, thrive in many areas when planted in the proper conditions. There are two main types of hibiscus trees -- subtropical hibiscus and cold-hardy trees known as Rose of Sharon. The proper light conditions are necessary for the hibiscus to produce enough food to thrive.
Best Light Conditions for Hibiscus
Hibiscus and Rose of Sharon trees grow best when planted in full sun conditions. The plants require six to eight hours of daily sun to survive.
Protection
While the hibiscus tree requires full sun, it may need protection from harsh afternoon sun, according to the National Arbor Day Foundation.
Determining Best Planting Area
The best way to determine where to plant your new hibiscus tree is to watch the way the sun moves through the garden space throughout the day. Select an area that features sun throughout the morning, but is partially shaded during the afternoon.
Growing Indoors
Some hibiscus varieties can be adapted to growing indoors, according to the Australian Native Hibiscus website. The Hibiscus tiliaceus grows well indoors when placed on a sunny windowsill.
