    Are you talking about transplanting to a new pot or transplanting an established already in the ground plant to a new spot. There is a difference in how it is done. They in ground, they talk about late August or early September after they finish blooming. They also say to cut back the plant to prevent as much transplant shock. This is an easy to read and understand article. They have many other articles on the care and problems with hibiscus plants.

    The best time to move a hibiscus is after the flowers fade. In most parts of the country, hibiscus shrubs finish blooming in late August or September. Allow enough time for the shrub to become established in the new location before freezing temperatures set in. Moisten the soil and then dig a circle around the shrub.

  • after the flowers are gone, so most likely fall
