Yellow Hibiscus in My Balcony Garden
Hibiscus are one of the easiest plants to grow in balcony gardens. You can grow hibiscus plants in pots. They crave for very little attention. Regular water is a must though. Slight dryness in soil can lead to buds falling off even before they bloom. Once you master that you will have the plant blooming for you everyday.
Yellow Hibiscus in My Balcony Garden
A couple of weeks back I had three purple water lilies adding beauty and romance to my little balcony garden. Yesterday there were three yellow hibiscus in my balcony garden. Three bright yellow ones, with deep red centers, set my heart dancing to a self made tune. What a beautiful return for the very less time I spend with these plants!
I got the plant from nursery three months back. There were several colors for sale but somehow this yellow variety won my heart. The thin stick like plant had just 1 single bloom, I wasn’t sure if it would make it.
But with regular water and bit of manure the plant thrived. Soon the leaves turned thick and dark green. Quite often I get single blooms, sometimes two blooms together. And when this thin skinny plant, but with healthy leaves, gave three together my happiness knew no limits.
Hawaiian Pua Aloalo
Yellow Hibiscus is the Hawaii state flower and is known as the pua aloalo in the Hawaiian language. It was in 1988 the yellow hibiscus which is native to the islands was selected to represent Hawaii. Mine is a variation of Hawaiian pua aloalo which is pure yellow with no red color in the center. Native Hawaiian yellow hibiscus is extremely rare. Very few remain in the wild. Today it is considered an endangered species.
Ah! Nevertheless I do have a bit of Hawaii in my own balcony garden!
More Hibiscus from My Apartment Garden
Here are some Hibiscus Flowers of Different Colors and Varieties
Red hibiscus offered in prayer. It lay over the sculpted form of feet which is a symbolic representation of feet of deity residing in the temple. You can see such sculpted form of feet impressions at the entrance of almost all temples.
Flowers are the medium through which the frequencies of deities get activated, the more devotion with which you offer them the stronger the frequency will be! That is just a belief! I think a clean heart has more power to connect.
Pin this for later
I read this with interest. My husband has high blood pressure. And Hibiscus is something that is supposed to help. We often drink Hibiscus tea. But I was not sure about growing the flower. These flowers are very pretty. And good to know they are easy to grow. If you keep them watered. That may let me out for growing them.
Beautiful flowers!

Beautiful hibiscus, but I have never had chance to grow them in my own balcony garden.
Hibiscus !! But yet to find this yellow one . I got (read as my mom ) red and pink ones .
The hibiscus is gorgeous. Very colorful.
its so beautiful and different from the usual red or white hibiscus!!!
my plants got the triming two weeks back..now growing fast before the bloom
I'm a hibiscus fan too but I don't have this variety. Yours is very beautiful! I'd sing too if I had a plant blooming like that!
I love Hibiscus and your plant is gorgeous. I have never seen this before.
What a beautiful color hibiscus! Gorgeous shots.
your hibiscus are so warm and glowing. Nice.
Lovely shots and very pretty hibiscus flowers. What a perfect macro of this beautiful bloom!
It seems an unusual color combination in hibiscus… then again, so many hibiscus demonstrate just that… I don't recall generally seeing three colors in the same bloom… very nice… L
They are so pretty! Hibuscus is the national flower of Malaysia, I didn't know they are the state flower of Hawaii too. Lots of hibiscus around my neighbourhood.
My heart would dance if I had beauties like these nearby. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos.
You have set my heart dancing, too! Gorgeous. I have never before seen them in this color.
Oh my!!! So gorgeous!!! I love the colors too!

Beautiful capture..I have only clicked white and red one
Its beautiful!! we only have the red hibiscus in our building!
nice. The yellow ones are not so common i guess… btb hibiscus always remind me of botany class…
Aloha! It really is a lovely hibiscus brightening up your balcony. The red hibiscus is our national flower, the rosa- sinensis. We call it the Bunga Raya.
Oh so beautiful. My father always had good luck with a beautiful, full red Hibiscus. I tried to keep a cutting from the plant alive (through a cold winter transfer 6 hours away) and it survived and even grew a bit, but it never flowered. Eventually I transplanted and killed it.
The last one is superb Indrani, it's a lovely flower.
greetings, Joop
It is so pretty! We have a lot of these flowers around our village!
Hibiscus…..wonderful memories of visits to Hawaii. Your photograph is beautiful!
I love hibiscus, but have never had any luck growing them. My DIL had a beautiful red plant this summer.
