Welcome to the home of Tropical Hibiscus Growing in Southern California. We think our region is the premier growing location in the world for exotic hibiscus. With our warm and dry climate we can grow them outdoors year round without most of the challenges other growers endure like pests, freezing temps and plant diseases. Our website if full of great info and gorgeous photos to give you a quick dive into the fascinating world of hibiscus.

April Cuttings Giveaway Event Info

Meet our Executive Board for 2025:

It is with much excitement that we are ringing in 2025 with some big new changes and a lot of exciting events! Alex John Franco III will now be the new president of the Southern California Hibiscus Society. He has been busy preparing our meeting agenda for the upcoming year so you will have ample time and motivation to attend.

Our goal this year is to provide members with as much materials and information as possible to take your hibiscus growing to the next level. Whether you are new to hibiscus or have been at it for years you will find a lot of value and good reason to join us each month as we cover the Southern California area.

A SUPER FRIENDLY AND FUN GROUP TO JOIN!

We are a relatively new and very friendly group of passionate people from all backgrounds and orientations. The SCHS meets monthly at grower’s homes and other tropically themed landscaped settings. You will be amazed at the beauty and positive influence hibiscus can put into your life!

Meetings consist of live information sessions from growing masters and one of a kind auctions & raffles with some very hard to get exotic hibiscus plants. You will be glad you took a few hours out of your monthly schedule to spend time with us.
