Hello. Hibiscus was a plant that really did well in Karachi. So I got a big plant last year. made about 20 cuttings. Planted them in a long line as a border. Now I have medium shrubs about stomach height which are going everywhere- perfect to mould into a nice hedge!

Now. I did pinch them occasionally to get bushier plants. Now I want to know what would be the right time to "shape" them so that I can get better blooms? Any tips ideas?

Over here hibiscus bushes are pruned to make a round topiary. It retains its shape and flowers as well. So i guess hedge shouldn't be a problem
