| Hibiscus are NOT easily hurt by pruning. While probably not the best time to prune, it can be done. The plants will resprout and bloom, but may take a few months to get back in their "groove" and bloom. Give them plenty of sun for best results. |

| Think on the good side when you prune you will have all those extras to start new plants. |
