The SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HIBISCUS SOCIETY

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.

Our next Southern California Hibiscus Society meeting is coming up on Saturday, June 14 from 10 AM to 1 PM in Tustin—and it’s one of our all-time favorite gatherings! We’re so lucky that Dr. Erny Curtis is once again hosting us at his home. If you’ve been before, you know how special it is—his garden is absolutely packed with amazing hibiscus and plumeria. It’s a total treat just to walk around and soak it all in.Please use the following link for more 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.
