Hibiscus: My first Lord Baltimore bloom!, 1 by SCBegoniaGuy

Here's what I've grown from a cutting. It blooms like mad. And loves water. It's definitely sterile...wouldn't produce a seedpod if its life depended on it. I'm not sure why anyone would start hibiscus from seed anyway. Cuttings root easily in the heat of summer with constant moisture. The same seems true of LADY Baltimore...so far.

The only issue with my hibiscus (all of them, really) is that my yard gets only dappled sun (under oak trees), so the branches really stretch early in the year...before setting buds...making for very leggy plants. Any idea whether I could prune them mid-season, to create fuller plants, without sacrificing flowers?
