Hardy Hibscus Care (I am a Newbie to these plants)

17 years ago

I just purchased two Plum Crazy Hibscus plants at my local nursery. I need to know basic care instructions. How much sunlight should these plants get? I was planning on planting them on the east side of my shed. They would get morning sun. How much water do they need? What do I need to do to winterize them? Plus, what are some good companion plants? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
