I have two mature Hibiscus shrubs which did not flower very well in 2014 is there something I can feed them with to promote more flowering please ?

In my experience, more potash is more effective than more phosphate--that may only be an effect of our alkaline soils, though.

Hi Tugbrethil, of course you're right, I don't know why I said phosphorus, must have had a 'senior moment' lol, glad you pointed out the error, Derek.

Hi, how long have you had them, and have they previously flowered well ?, some so called hardy Hibiscus, don't flower very well at all, they just about survive a winter, and start into growth late in the season, but if they have been ok in the past, feed them with a fertilizer higher in phosphorus, and less nitrogen, look at the N P K on the packet, you need the N to be lower than the P and the K to encourage flowering, Derek.
